if it's only a source-level API this implies that when you move your

2.6.19 guest kernel to support the modifications. where are the
patches going to come from to do this?
No, the low-level interface between the kernel is an ABI, which will be
as stable as your hypervisor author/vendor wants it to be (which is
generally "very stable"). The question is whether that low-level
interface is exposed to the rest of the kernel directly, or hidden
behind a kernel-internal source-level API.
