I packaged this in Fedora 12 as qemu-0.10.50 and noticed a couple of
small problems with the qemu-kvm-devel tarball:

  - No kernel/include/asm symlink, so it was building with the system 
    headers and not finding e.g. KVM_FEATURE_CLOCKSOURCE

  - An empty kvm-85 dir

And for anyone else doing similar packaging, I've also:

  - Disabled pwritev() support until glibc stops writing random junk. 
    See https://bugzilla.redhat.com/497429

  - Added Pauline's boot=on -help string patch

  - Fixed the arm target build with the patch I just sent

Cheers,
Mark.
