Ok, got it now.  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.
