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.
