+ * With the z/VM CP interface you can issue z/VM CP commands from a Linux
+ * terminal session. On Linux instances that run in environments other than
+ * the z/VM hypervisor, the z/VM CP interface does not provide any useful
+ * function and the corresponding vmcp device driver cannot be loaded.
+ * User action:
+ * Load the vmcp device driver only on Linux instances that run as guest
+ * operating systems of the z/VM hypervisor. If the device driver has been
+ * compiled into the kernel, ignore this message.
