Modules§

cpu_model: Logic for handling x86_64 CPU models.
generated
interrupts: Contains logic for setting up Advanced Programmable Interrupt Controller (local version).
kvm: Architecture specific KVM-related code
layout: Layout for the x86_64 system. Magic addresses externally used to lay out x86_64 VMs.
