in config-x86-generic:
CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION=y
CONFIG_VMI=y
CONFIG_LGUEST=m
but it doesn't appear that CONFIG_VMI is enabled on the x86_64 kernel
in config-2.6.23-0.214.rc8.git2.fc8. Unless there's a better answer
shortly, please file this as a bug against the kernel. It may just be
an oversight.
paravirt_ops (and thus VMI & LGuedst) only exists on i686. There is no x86_64
or other arch support for any of this yet.
