KVM provides device abstraction but no processor emulation. itIt exposes the <tt>/dev/kvm</tt> interface, which a user mode host can then use to:
* 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.

Internally, KVM uses [[SeaBIOS]] as an open source implementation of a 16-bit x86 [[BIOS]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.seabios.org/SeaBIOS |title=SeaBIOS |publisher=seabios.org |date=2013-12-21 |accessdate=2014-06-16}}</ref>
