The UI in RHEL 5/CentOS 5 is definitely very limited, but KVM does work with all these things under the hood. In particular KVM seems to run fine on top of a simple host bridge, which can in turn rely on a bonded interface. I have had no problems with boot support, although I confess I don't use PXE - DHCP and kickstart over the LAN work fine, though. I do hope the interface implementation in RHEL 6 will be much more usable. I don't mind doing things in XML files and command lines, but lots of people do.
