 ====== Enabling Hyper-V enlightenments with KVM ======
+Author: [[http://blog.wikichoon.com/2014/07/enabling-hyper-v-enlightenments-with-kvm.html|Cole Robins]]
 Windows has support for several paravirt features that it will use when running on Hyper-V, Microsoft's hypervisor. These features are called enlightenments. Many of the features are similar to paravirt functionality that exists with Linux on KVM (virtio, kvmclock, PV EOI, etc.)
-Nowadays QEMU/KVM can also enable support for several Hyper-V enlightenments. When enabled, Windows VMs running on KVM will use many of the same paravirt optimizations they would use when running on Hyper-V. For detailed info, see Vadim's presentation from KVM Forum 2012.

 From the QEMU/KVM developers, the recommended configuration is:
