[fedora-virt] kvm, xen and what requires H/W virt support?

  i might have asked this once and forgotten the answer but here:

http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Virtualization

the caution near the bottom:

"KVM requires hardware virtualization features in the host system.
Systems lacking hardware virtualization do not support Xen guests at
this time."

  i'm confused since this seems to be mixing two issues -- what basic
KVM requires, as opposed to which systems support Xen guests.  would
there be a clearer way to word that?
