Good afternoon Richard,

Just one question about "--scrub" option. Can the "scrub mode" be enabled globally (not just for single FILE after this option)? Preferably for all sysprep items where some files are deleted. For example logfiles rh-subscription-manager rhn-systemid and so on.

No, it doesn't work this way. You have to scrub individual files. Note this uses the 'scrub(1)' command.

And finally, is any requirement the CentOS/RedHat images must be processed by virt-sysprep running on CentOS host and not on Ubuntu (which has different kernel). Because what I observed, these tools get the host kernel from /boot directory. I didn't found how to provide arbitrary kernel file or use the kernel built in processed image.

You can use a different kernel by setting SUPERMIN_* environment variables: http://libguestfs.org/supermin.1.html#USING-A-CUSTOM-KERNEL-AND-KERNEL-MODUL... http://libguestfs.org/guestfs-faq.1.html#how-can-i-compile-and-install-libgu... In theory you could extract the kernel from the disk image using 'virt-get-kernel'. It doesn't currently let you extract the modules from the same disk image [that would be a nice feature], but you could do that with a trivial bit of guestfish scripting.
