The point I'm looking at reaching to test is to have Zones for some

Unless I am mistaken, you do not need KVM for running CentOS.As I
understand it, lx-branded zones have landed into SmartOS,which means
one can run Joyent provided CentOS image atnear bare metal speeds.

With KVM, you will pay a performance penalty equal to emulatingan
entire system; while possible, unless you have a very specificreason
for doing so, running Linux inside of an lx-branded zone shouldbe a
better alternative.
Needless to say, unless there is specific software that only runs
onGNU/Linux, why not just run the SmartOS native version of
theapplication?
Oh absolutely, I did not know that is what LX versions are, excellent!
FWIW I've got the LX version of CentOS running on an AMD system. The
Intel requirement of KVM under SmartOS nicely disappears with LX. zlogin
connectivity is a nice bonus :-)
