hypervisor), or any hypervisor-specific interaction when the kernel is

+Note: KVM/arm has been removed from the kernel. The API described

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.
