Hi Jiri,
I see the change in 

Architecture

On certain architectures, KVM virtualization is not supported with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7. Notably, these include IBM Power Systems. 

The sentence is fine, and does not need changing.

However, I am wondering, what other architectures are not supported and if we don't have a list shouldn't we have one? If we do, we should point to it from here.
I did some looking around and the information is already in the VDAG here 
http://jenkinscat.gsslab.pnq.redhat.com:8080/job/doc-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-7-Virtualization_Deployment_and_Administration_Guide%20%28html-single%29/lastStableBuild/artifact/tmp/en-US/html-single/index.html#appe-Virtualization_restrictions

Which I admit needs to be restructured as there are physical restrictions and support limitations as well as software restrictions and limitations, but that is not of your concern with this BZ. 

and we have a chapter in the beginning of the VDAG as well on support and restrictions here

http://jenkinscat.gsslab.pnq.redhat.com:8080/job/doc-Red_Hat_Enterprise_Linux-7-Virtualization_Deployment_and_Administration_Guide%20%28html-single%29/lastStableBuild/artifact/tmp/en-US/html-single/index.html#chap-Requirements

I suggest you link to the VDAG for more information and we open a new BZ for a list of supported hardware, CPU models, etc.
