I do not agree with you here.I have used KVM and virt-manager also and virt-manager gives an option to

install a PV guest or HVM guest and they use the same ISO which one downloads from the vendors site.

Technically, there's no such thing as a PV guest in KVM. Every guest is an HVM guest. But you can install paravirt drivers for network and storage I/O. There's no difference between a normal OS kernel and a KVM guest OS kernel. It's very different setup from Xen.

Thus, every install into a KVM guest is a normal OS install.
