Virtualization - Sep 2007 - [PATCH 1/3] Normalize config options for guest support

Group all the "guest OS" support options together, under
CONFIG_PARAVIRT.  Make this a proper menu item so it looks neater on
menuconfig etc, and make the wording for each prompt uniform.

 	  Paravirtualization is a way of running multiple instances of
 	  Linux on the same machine, under a hypervisor.  This option
 	  changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run
 	  under a hypervisor, improving performance significantly.
 	  However, when run without a hypervisor the kernel is
 	  theoretically slower.  If in doubt, say N.

We turn "Virtualization" into a menu, not a config option, since
it's
actually only used as a menu.  Then we move lguest under that menu.
