Vanderpool Technology
This feature is used to enable or disable the Intel Virtualization Technol-
ogy (IVT) extension, which also goes by the development code name of
Vanderpool. It allows multiple operating systems to run simultaneously
on the same system. It does this by creating virtual machines, each run-
ning its own x86 operating system.
