libguestfs boots a KVM guest to do its work inside and uses the installed
kernel image from /boot/vmlinuz-$UNAME_R for this purpose, together with
a custom initrd image with specific modules + specialized init binary.
As does virtme. I just added support for /usr/lib/modules to virtme.
Thanks for the pointer.
