KVM is not part of the main CentOS distro, it is in CentOS extras for CentOS-5. The stable version is quite old (kvm-36-1). Newer versions than that are in our testing repository:
http://dev.centos.org/centos/5/
Whether or not they can be used in production is totally dependent on your unique situation, your specific hardware and what you plan to install on the VMs.
At some point in the future, Red Hat is going to release KVM technology in RHEL ... when that happens, then I would call it "good enough" to use in the enterprise without reservation.
It certainly may already be "good enough" for your needs as released in our extras repo ... the only real way to tell is try it in your situation is to try it and see if it meets your needs.
Thanks, Johnny Hughes

Just wanted to add a note to say we have a nice Wiki article on how to install kvm:
