+ Virtual Secure Mode (VSM) is a set of hypervisor capabilities and
+ enlightenments offered to host and guest partitions which enables
+ the creation and management of new security boundaries within
+ operating system software.
+
+ VSM achieves and maintains isolation through Virtual Trust Levels
+ (VTLs). Virtual Trust Levels are hierarchical, with higher levels
+ being more privileged than lower levels. VTL0 is the least privileged
+ level, and currently only other level supported is VTL2.
+
+ Select this option to build a Linux kernel to run at a VTL other than
+ the normal VTL0, which currently is only VTL2. This option
+ initializes the x86 platform for VTL2, and adds the ability to boot
+ secondary CPUs directly into 64-bit context as required for VTLs other
+ than 0. A kernel built with this option must run at VTL2, and will
+ not run as a normal guest.
