Here is the corresponding kvm-kmod [1] release for Linux 3.2. The
package is available for download from

http://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/kvm-kmod/3.2/kvm-kmod-3.2.tar.bz2/download

Major KVM changes since kvm-kmod-3.1:
 - APIC: Optimize EOI emulation
 - APIC: Emulate TSC deadline timer
 - APIC: Allow faster periodic timer
 - x86 emulator refactorings
 - raise VCPU hard limit
 - fix for simultaneous guest NMIs
 - SVM: Fix for task switch emulation with NPT enabled
 - security-relevant fixes for device assignment core and in-kernel PIT
 - various small fixes and cleanups

kvm-kmod changes:
 - none

Note that the device assignment security fix was not backported to
kernels before 2.6.28, so that this feature is not available for these
kernels anymore. For such use cases, updating the host kernel is
recommended anyway (due to dependencies on other kernel core systems).
