While fixing the problem, we noticed that is not possible to pass the --with-kvm-trace option to the main qemu configure script. This patch makes it possible to cascade --with-kvm-trace option from the qemu toplevel configure script to the KVM kernel configure script. It is our understanding that this cascading is desirable, however we are not completely sure about it, hence we are asking for comments on this change. The actual fix for the issue we found will follow, however the patches are independant.
