Whenever you're using user-mode-linux, you have two kernels running. The real kernel is referred to as the host, and the virtual kernel is called the guest. The guest is the one that must be patched with UML. The host doesn't need any patching, but there's an optional SKAS patch for it that improves performance and security.
