Normalize config options for guest support
1) Group all the "guest OS" support options together, under a PARAVIRT_GUEST menu. 2) Make those options select CONFIG_PARAVIRT, as suggested by Andi. 3) Make kconfig help titles consistent.

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.

This changes the kernel so it can modify itself when it is run

under a hypervisor, potentially improving performance significantly

over full virtualization. However, when run without a hypervisor

the kernel is theoretically slower and slightly larger.

VMI provides a paravirtualized interface to the VMware ESX server

Lguest is a tiny in-kernel hypervisor. Selecting this will
