+.Sh NAME
+.Nm nvmm
+.Nd NetBSD Virtual Machine Monitor
+.Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+driver provides kernel support for hardware-accelerated virtualization.
+It is made of a generic MI frontend, to which MD backends can be plugged
+to implement the core virtualization.
+.Pp
+In practice,
+.Nm
+is used by the
+.Xr libnvmm 3
+API to implement hypervisors.
+.Sh SUPPORT
+The following backends are supported:
+.Bl -hyphen -compact -offset indent
+.It
+x86-SVM, for x86 AMD CPUs
+.El
+.Sh CAVEATS
+Currently,
+.Nm
+cannot be enabled in a kernel configuration, and must rather be modloaded
+dynamically from the filesystem.
+.El
+.Sh SEE ALSO
+.Xr libnvmm 3
+.Sh AUTHORS
+The
+.Nm
+driver was written by
+.An Maxime Villard .
