+# OS X Hypervisor.framework support in QEMU
+
+These sources (and ../hvf-all.c) are adapted from Veertu Inc's vdhh (Veertu Desktop Hosted Hypervisor) (last known location: https://github.com/veertuinc/vdhh) with some minor changes, the most significant of which were:
+
+1. Adapt to our current QEMU's `CPUState` structure and `address_space_rw` API; many struct members have been moved around (emulated x86 state, kvm_xsave_buf) due to historical differences + QEMU needing to handle more emulation targets.
+2. Removal of `apic_page` and hyperv-related functionality.
+3. More relaxed use of `qemu_mutex_lock_iothread`.
