+          Shadow paging is a software alternative to hardware paging support
+          (Intel EPT, AMD NPT) for use with HVM guests.
+
+          It is required to run HVM guests for first-generation hardware
+          virtualisation (Intel VT-x, AMD SVM) which did not include hardware
+          paging support.  Under a small number of specific workloads, shadow
+          paging may also be deliberately used as a performance improvement.
+
+          If unsure, say Y.
