CentOS - Aug 2015 - Converting HVM to PV kernel CentOS7

Hi,

I have installed CentOS 7 HVM kernel. I would like to convert it to CentOs
7 PV kernel.

When googled about it, I found that this can be done by following commands

yum install xen or yum install kernel-xen

But, when I tried the below commands, I am getting the error *"No package
kernel-xen available.**"*

What am I missing here. Any help is much appreciated.

what version were those instructions for ?   AFAIK, there's no xen 
specific kernel in EL7, Red Hat and therefore CentOS supports KVM as 
their native virtualization, and the PV drivers for KVM are built in.

Thanks for the reply.
Sorry for the typo in the earlier mail.
I have PV-HVM of CentOS 7 & I need to convert it to PV kernel.

Basically here I am trying to see whether my PV_HVM kernel is vulenrable to
this issue given in the following link
http://seclists.org/oss-sec/2015/q3/212

In the above link, it was mentioned that the PV kernel is not vulnerable to
this bug, but HVM is. It didnt say anything about PV-HVM.

Can you please help me in this regard?
