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

	  (it could be used by other hypervisors in theory too, but is not

	  at the moment), by linking the kernel to a GPL-ed ROM module

	  provided by the hypervisor.

	  allow your kernel to boot under lguest.  This option will increase

	  your kernel size by about 6k.  If in doubt, say N.
