/** @page pg_gim        GIM - The Guest Interface Manager
 *
 * The Guest Interface Manager abstracts an interface provider through which
 * guests may interact with the hypervisor.
 *
 * @see grp_gim
 *
 *
 * @section sec_gim_provider   Providers
 *
 * A GIM provider implements a particular hypervisor interface such as Microsoft
 * Hyper-V, Linux KVM and so on. It hooks into various components in the VMM to
 * ease the guest in running under a recognized virtualized environment. This is
 * also referred to as paravirtualization interfaces.
 *
 * The idea behind this is primarily for making guests more accurate and
 * efficient when operating in a virtualized environment.
 *
 * For instance, a guest when interfaced to VirtualBox through a GIM provider
 * may rely on the provider (and VirtualBox ultimately) for providing the
 * correct TSC frequency and may therefore not have to caliberate the TSC
 * itself, resulting in higher accuracy and saving several CPU cycles.
 *
 * Only one provider can be active for a running VM.
