As I discovered that my version of kvm 28 doesn't have these options, I have 
attempted to compile release 45 on my Ubuntu 7.04, which failed, because 
obviously the patch was not applied. So I downloaded the 2.6.22, the patch 
2.6.23-rc8.

The patches seemed to apply fine, I copied the config from Ubuntu and ran make 
oldconfig, then using make-kpkg buildpackage I ended up with packages that 
refer to rc6. Probably something wrong on my side, with -rc9 that I tried 
first, hoping patches may already be merged, but they are not. I didn't have 
that issue of wrong version number there though. My guess ist that Linus 
still forgets to update kernel versions? :)

Well, but aside from the kernel problem, I was using: 

./configure --prefix=/opt/kvm --with-patched-kernel --kerneldir=/usr/src/linux-headers-2.6.23-rc6/
make 
make install

and the compile worked now. But when I look in /opt/bin I only find qemu 
binaries, but not kvm. Is my expectation that the kvm script at least should 
also be found there wrong?

And given that the kernel wouldn't boot either (I guess I will have to wait 
for you to rebase on rc9, a lot of your patch got rejected there), I also 
have the question if the same effect possibly could be also achieved with the 
outdated version already in Ubuntu 7.04 that doesn't have "-no-kvm-irqchip" 
yet.

Best regards,
Kay Hayen
