kvm already support SVM which implementation of hardware-assisted virtualization for AMD. but it was removed from master branch. I don't know why it was. so, if no reason to remove it I want to recover it. how do you think?

The GiantVM paper says: ==> "On x86 platforms, Intel and AMD both have their hardware virtualization solutions. We mainly focus on Intel’s technologies in this paper."

GiantVM is not a commercial technology, but is in the elementary technology development stage. I think that the original authors of GiantVM chose intel VT-x as their base environment to implement the idea of the paper for the first time in a limited time.

Of course, if GiantVM evolves to the commercial technology stage, multiple H/W support will be considered later.

As long as it doesn't affect the GiantVM build as it is, it doesn't seem to matter if you restore it.
