HVF is a para-virtualized QEMU accelerator for macOS based on                                                                                                                 Hypervisor.framework (HVF). Hypervisor.framework is a thin user-space                                                                                                         wrapper around Intel VT/VMX that enables to run VMMs such as QEMU in                                                                                                          non-privileged mode.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                        The unit tests can be run on macOS to verify completeness of the HVF                                                                                                          accel implementation.

I'm sorry for broken formating in the cover letter. Here's a reformat at
your convenience.

HVF is a para-virtualized QEMU accelerator for macOS based on
Hypervisor.framework (HVF). Hypervisor.framework is a thin user-space
wrapper around Intel VT/VMX that enables to run VMMs such as QEMU in
non-privileged mode.

The unit tests can be run on macOS to verify completeness of the HVF
accel implementation.

Regards,
Roman

The first sentence doesn't make much sense.  HVF is not QEMU specific.  Other VMMs use it.
