http://wiki.centos.org/HowTos/KVM
In section:
2.3. Installing later versions of KVM
there is s teeny weeny link under "own website" lurks the link:
http://www.lfarkas.org/linux/packages/centos/5/x86_64/
indeed it does provide kvm-85.
Ok, OK I know the latest is kvm-88 but then we are talking Centos
which by definition stays away from bleeding edge.
But please be aware that the CPU should support [vmx|svm] and be
beware that operting KVM with VMware server on same CPU can (or is it
will?) give nightmares
