@@ -11,6 +11,11 @@ hypervisor when running as a guest (under Xen, KVM or any other
hypervisor), or any hypervisor-specific interaction when the kernel is
used as a host.
+Note: KVM/arm has been removed from the kernel. The API described
+here is still valid though, as it allows the kernel to kexec when

+if necessary.

On arm and arm64 (without VHE), the kernel doesn't run in hypervisor
mode, but still needs to interact with it, allowing a built-in
hypervisor to be either installed or torn down.
