→Internals: specify which host |

Line 45:
* Set up the guest VM's address space. The host must also supply a firmware image (usually a custom BIOS when emulating PCs) that the guest can use to bootstrap into its main OS.
* Feed the guest simulated I/O.
* Map the guest's video display back onto the system host.
On Linux, [[QEMU]] versions 0.10.1 and later is one such userspace host. QEMU uses KVM when available to virtualize guests at near-native speeds, but otherwise falls back to software-only emulation.
