Bad bug, Linus please apply.

There's currently no way to turn on Lguest guest support; the planned
Kconfig virtualization reorg didn't get into 2.6.25.

This was unnoticed because if you already had CONFIG_LGUEST_GUEST=y in
your config, it worked.  Too bad about new users...

Also, the Kconfig help was wrong now the virtio drivers are merged.
