Is this really a new special case?  Or can it just be part of the generic
"what kernel is right for this hardware?" choice that picks PAE/smp now?
(There is something like that, right?)  When the "hardware" is paravirtual,
that's just a particular flavor of "hardware" for which there is a right kernel.
