+	  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.
