It installs the headers required to build kvm support into the qemu that
allows full-featured kernel or kvm-kmod usage up to the version kvm-kmod
carries.

Once you properly installed the kernel headers that kvm-kmod delivers,
qemu should detect their presence during configure and succeed with this
step. Of course, you also have to install the kvm-kmod modules which
will disable those that come with 2.6.28 to actually run qemu in kvm
mode later on.
