Subject: KVM: Fix virtualization menu help text
From: Avi Kivity <avi@xxxxxxxxxxxx>

An August 18 patch from Jan Engelhardt (06bfb7e) added help text for the
virtualization menu.  Unfortunately the text is misleading, as "guest
drivers" are usually interpreted to mean "drivers running inside the
guest", which is not the case for kvm.
