10331625340SJoseph Cihula	  This option enables support for booting the kernel with the

10531625340SJoseph Cihula	  Intel(R) Trusted Execution Technology to perform a measured launch
10631625340SJoseph Cihula	  of the kernel. If the system does not support Intel(R) TXT, this
10731625340SJoseph Cihula	  will have no effect.
10831625340SJoseph Cihula
1093c556e41SArnaldo Carvalho de Melo	  Intel TXT will provide higher assurance of system configuration and
11031625340SJoseph Cihula	  initial state as well as data reset protection.  This is used to
11131625340SJoseph Cihula	  create a robust initial kernel measurement and verification, which
11231625340SJoseph Cihula	  helps to ensure that kernel security mechanisms are functioning
11331625340SJoseph Cihula	  correctly. This level of protection requires a root of trust outside
11431625340SJoseph Cihula	  of the kernel itself.
11531625340SJoseph Cihula
11631625340SJoseph Cihula	  Intel TXT also helps solve real end user concerns about having
11731625340SJoseph Cihula	  confidence that their hardware is running the VMM or kernel that
1183c556e41SArnaldo Carvalho de Melo	  it was configured with, especially since they may be responsible for
11931625340SJoseph Cihula	  providing such assurances to VMs and services running on it.
