+ (description
+ "QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.
+
+When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one
+machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine
+(e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good
+performance.
+
+When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by
+executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. QEMU supports
+virtualization when executing under the Xen hypervisor or using
+the KVM kernel module in Linux. When using KVM, QEMU can virtualize x86,
+server and embedded PowerPC, and S390 guests.")))
