That's not always true.
The host admin can control the guest kernel via "kvm -kernel" easily
enough, but he may or may not have access to the disk that is used in
the guest. (think encrypted disks, service agreements, etc)
There is a matching -initrd argument that you can use to launch a
daemon. I believe that -kernel use will be rare, though. It's a lot
easier to keep everything in one filesystem.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to
panic.
