The only kvm-specific distribution I know of is RHEV-H, but that's 
probably not what you're looking for.  I'm talking about distributions 
that have an active kvm package maintainer, update the packages 
regularly, have bug trackers that someone looks into, etc.  At least 
Fedora and Ubuntu do this, perhaps openSuSE as well (though the latter 
has a stronger Xen emphasis).
