+    <p>AMD Secure Encrypted Virtualization (SEV) capabilities are exposed under
+    the <code>sev</code> element.
+    SEV is an extension to the AMD-V architecture which supports running
+    virtual machines (VMs) under the control of a hypervisor. When supported,
+    guest owner can create a VM whose memory contents will be transparently
+    encrypted with a key unique to that VM.</p>

+    For more details on SEV feature see:
+      <a href="https://support.amd.com/TechDocs/55766_SEV-KM%20API_Specification.pdf">
+        SEV API spec</a> and <a href="http://amd-dev.wpengine.netdna-cdn.com/wordpress/media/2013/12/AMD_Memory_Encryption_Whitepaper_v7-Public.pdf">
