KVM needs hardware support, while Xen is a para-virtualization 
environment and doesn't need any special hardware. I don't know about 
libvirt and what is is. However, Xen works just great (and is deployed 
by many commercial hosters) and the main Arch servers have relied on it 
for over 2 months. Xen is very stable and well-tested, I doubt you can 
say the last on other para-virtualization environments.
