The diff headers confused me... I think this is as confusing as before, perhaps worse because it is not clear that Linux guest support is not limited to KVM. If you really want a Virtualization menu, you have to clearly separate the guest and host: --- Virtualization Linux guest support ---> Virtualization host support ---> with KVM and vhost under the second item. > So this new menu grouping includes both KVM, Xen, and lguest.
