+          Paravirtualization is a way of running multiple instances of
+          Linux on the same machine, under a hypervisor.  This option
+          changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
+          under a hypervisor, improving performance significantly.
+          However, when run without a hypervisor the kernel is
+          theoretically slower.  If in doubt, say N.
