You'll be fine.  Paravirtualized Xen could run you into trouble but
KVM doesn't support paravirtualized cpu, just full virtualization so
it's completely agnostic about what you run on top.

I'm definitely running 16 and 12 ontop of 14, but also much weirder
things like Gnu-Herd, FreeBSD and <shudder> Windows...
