Maybe it's cooler, but it's also trademarked by some other company, so
it's not a good name for a product from AMD - unless we want to be sued.
AMD-V or AMD Virtualization Technology is the official marketing name.
SVM (Secure Virtual Machine) is the engineering product name.

Flag is called "svm" on AMD processors and "vmx" (for Virtual Machine
eXtension) on Intel.
