The vmx-var-set-efi utility - The rEFIt Project

This utility can be used on Apple Mackintosh computers to enable Intel vt-x (hardware assisted virtualization) to allow the use of virtualization software such a Parallels.

rEFIt can be used to configure Mac hardware to  boot into other operating systems such as Windows 7.

rEFIt is a boot menu and maintenance toolkit for EFI-based machines like the Intel Macs.

refit enable vt-d

I understand that there is a way to enable vt-d in an EFI based machine and I was looking for the rEFIt utility to allow this.

Also, I would be grateful if there is anyone that can post their experiences in using the utility on this blog. I monitor The Technology Muse regularly and find that there is a lot of useful information on the posts - it is question of having to search for it.
