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.
