As previously remarked there is no such thing as RHEL 5.1; it is
just a conventional name given to a particular (and now obsolete)
set up of updates to RHEL5; in other words it is a marketing
device.  A bit like MS-Windows service packs, which are usually
mostly compilation of patches at some particular point in time.
If you are using RHEL51 is a bit like saying "I haven't bothered
to update my system for a fairly long time".

Fairly fullish KVM support has been backported to the 2.6.18
kernel starting with that labeled as update 5.4, that is package
release 164:

If you want you can install any kernel package release 164 or
later along your non-updated version 5.1 packages, that is perform
a very partial upgrade.
