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.
