That's kind of what I was trying to say (very badly as it turned out).

I can't find the OS X equivalent of:

`egrep '(vm|svm)' --color=always /proc/cpuinfo`

which although it is strictly speaking the way of finding out if your
box is capable of hardware virtualization, is also useful as a sure fire
way of knowing if your kernel is 64-bit.
