-HAXM is a hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor) that uses Intel
-Virtualization Technology to speed up IA (x86/ x86_64) emulation on a host
-machine running Windows or macOS. It started as an Android SDK component, but
-has recently transformed itself into a general accelerator for QEMU.
+HAXM is a cross-platform hardware-assisted virtualization engine (hypervisor),
+widely used as an accelerator for Android Emulator and QEMU. It has always
+supported running on Windows and macOS, and has been ported to other host
+operating systems as well, such as Linux and NetBSD.
+
+HAXM runs as a kernel-mode driver on the host operating system, and provides a
+KVM-like interface to user space, thereby enabling applications like QEMU to
+utilize the hardware virtualization capabilities built into modern Intel CPUs,
+namely Intel Virtualization Technology.
