I'm missing a bit an overview of the very practical infos. which kernel versions+which distro kernels are patched? do I need to patch host, guest, both? Which is more important? what about kvm/qemu, does that need a patch, too? #meltdown

For meltdown, host needs to be patched for guest isolation. Guests need to be patched if you care about kernel/user isolation in guest (i.e. unless mmu-less would be acceptable for your guest).

If guest is purely network infrastructure in kernel & some admin stuff as root in userspace you might prefer not to patch guest, I guess.
