Oh, sorry for now having explained this earlier.  HVMlite is a new guest
mode. It's basically HVM without QEMU. The official name for that new
mode is not yet coined, so you might see it being referred to as PVHv2,
hvmlite-nodm or some other names, but in essence they point to the same
thing.

For more information:

And scroll down to the bottom for a nice picture. To avoid further
complicating things, I will dwell into the difference between PVHv1 and
PVHv2 (hvmlite).

Wei.
