You shouldn't have seen any problems with 2.6.30.5, since the code in
question (sysenter/syscall emulation) is not in here.

You can use the attached patch, which applies against
kvm-kmod-devel-88.tar.gz
If that does not help, tell me with what tree or tarball you are usually
generating the KVM kernel modules. I use Avi's latest git tree, which is
regularly synced with 2.6.31.rc<x>. The patch from Friday should apply
against this one.
$ git clone git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/avi/kvm.git
You will have to build your whole kernel with this tree, if you build
only the modules from here they will certainly mismatch your running kernel.
Regards,
Andre.
