+KVM VCPU Features
+=================
+
+KVM VCPU features are CPU features that are specific to KVM, such as
+paravirt features or features that enable CPU virtualization extensions.
+The features' CPU properties are only available when KVM is enabled and are
+named with the prefix "kvm-".  KVM VCPU features may be probed, enabled, and
+disabled in the same way as other CPU features.  Below is the list of KVM
+VCPU features and their descriptions.

+  kvm-adjvtime             When enabled, each time the VM transitions back
+                           to running state the VCPU's vitual counter is
+                           updated to ensure stopped time is not counted.
+                           This avoids time jumps surprising guest OSes and
+                           applications, as long as they use the virtual
+                           counter for timekeeping, but has the side effect
+                           of the virtual and physical counters diverging.
+                           All timekeeping based on the virtual counter will
+                           appear to lag behind any timekeeping that does
+                           not subtract VM stopped time.  The guest may
+                           resynchronize its virtual counter with other time
+                           sources as needed.
