Indeed, the operating systems listed in the RHELOSP documentation are those that were explicitly tested with the versions of KVM shipped in RHEL and RHELOSP. It is likely (and expected) that many other guests will function just fine as reflected in the user submissions on the KVM site. If you run into any bugs with running your guests on KVM then please report them even if they are not formally supported per the RHELOSP list!

NB: In future please direct user queries to the openstack at lists.openstack.org list. This list is intended for development discussion.
