Thanks Pekka.

It occurred to me overnight that I forgot to mention that in order to
build the new code you need the headers from a 3.5-rc1 era kernel (for
the ioctl & KVM_CAP definitions).

The easiest way to do that is to merge linus' tree into kvmtool.

Are you planning on doing that in the master kvmtool tree anytime soon?
It's still based on 3.4-rc1 it seems.

cheers
