[rhelv6-list] App install in RHEL6 KVM physical host

[hai wu]

My question was probably not clear, I was asking for app install on
top of kvm's 'DOM0' physical (not a right word here, similar to xen
dom0), such as cpu intensive puppet app, then in kvm guest, we could
put lightweight things like apache, ldap servers, etc..
