+	  Detect CPU locks on the virtual machine. This driver relies on the
+	  hrtimers which are CPU-binded to do the 'pet' operation. When a vCPU
+	  has to do a 'pet', it exits the guest through MMIO write and the
+	  backend driver takes into account the lost ticks for this particular
+	  CPU.
+	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here: the
+	  module will be called vm-wdt.
