x11-drivers/nvidia-drivers-* emerge fails due to Paravirtualized guest support in kernel.


Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. emerge --sync
2. emerge -v nvidia-drivers


Actual Results:  
emerge fails with:

 * Please disable PARAVIRT in your kernel config, found at:
 *
 *   Processor type and features
 *     [*] Paravirtualized guest support
 *
 * or XEN support
 *
 * and recompile your kernel ..

Expected Results:  
emerge with no errors

This patch fixes the problem:

 paravirt_check() {
        ebegin "Checking for Paravirtualized guest support"
-       linux_chkconfig_present PARAVIRT
+       linux_chkconfig_present PARAVIRT_GUEST

        if [[ $? -eq 0 ]]; then
-               eerror "Please disable PARAVIRT in your kernel config, found at:"
+               eerror "Please disable PARAVIRT_GUEST in your kernel config, found at:"

 }


This is a old issue, at every driver update i have to apply this patch.
