Hi Steven, I agree that it as easy as yum install ovzkernel. But watching XEN vs KVM discussion, one of KVM advantages is that it uses a loadable module which makes the life easier for users and for distro maintainers. You need Xen specific kernel but do not need for KVM.
I can use, with standard Debian packages, OpenVZ + KVM on the same machine because I can load KVM modules on OpenVZ kernel. I can see power for KVM by not requiring specific kernel. Does not matter what changes and/or patches are applied. Probably KVM will work. "I" can see that turning OpenVZ into loadable modules can be a good thing to OpenVZ. I know that it is not simple and represent lots of work, but the result may be good. Do you agree?
