Since the PPC970 support has been removed from the kvm-hv kernel module recently, we should also reflect this change in the help text of the corresponding Kconfig option. Signed-off-by: Thomas Huth <thuth@redhat.com> Signed-off-by: Alexander Graf <agraf@suse.de>

guest operating systems will run at full hardware speed

using supervisor and user modes. However, this also means

This is not as fast as using hypervisor mode, but works on

machines where hypervisor mode is not available or not usable,
