Explanation:
Paravirtualized (PVM) — A software interface similar but not identical to the underlying
hardware is presented to the guest operating system. Paravirtualization provides hooks for
guest instructions so that complicated tasks can be performed by the host instead of the
virtual machine, where performance is worse. Paravirtualization requires that the guest
kernel is ported to be made aware of the virtual environment.
