Curious, why are you targetting Fedora kernels at all?  They have a 
really short shelf life.  I though kvm-kmod was for people using longer 
term kernels like enterprise distros or long lived embedded projects.

For Fedora, you can use the native kvm, or install a rawhide kernel, or 
an upstream kernel with 'make localmodconfig'.
