Let me put in my $0.02, I don't like xvm, or hwassist, hwasst. xvm looks
like I mistyped vmx and hwassist/hwasst are not descriptive enough and
too long. 

What about hve or hvx for Hardware Virtualization Extensions? Elsie seems
to prefer something with hardware in it to convey that this is silicon
thing.
