qemu-kvm is an open source virtualizer that provides hardware emulation for
the KVM hypervisor.

This package provides an agent to run inside guests, which communicates
with the host over a virtio-serial channel named "org.qemu.guest_agent.0"

This package does not need to be installed on the host OS.
