What guest drivers?

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.

Linus, please apply.

This option alone does not add any kernel code.

If you say N, all options in this submenu will be skipped and disabled.
