Hello, is this kernel usable also for KVM or is only for XEN?

This kernel is intended for the Xen repos. None of us are testing it with KVM to my knowledge, but it may work. The KVM-related virt SIG repos don't include a custom kernel.

This kernel is tracking an upstream LTS kernel and building for Xen specific functionality. Personally, I would stick with the base kernels for CentOS as they're intended to run KVM and are maintained longer than upstream LTS kernels.
