I have a mix of Feisty and Gutsy hosts. I think it's as well supported
as anything else for all KVM releases.

A few simple tips:

1) apt-get build-dep kvm will get you everything you need except gcc-3.4

2) the kvm that comes in Feisty is pretty old. Gutsy currently has
kvm-28 which is relatively recent. Most importantly, it has a new
enough version such that the ABI between kernel space and user space is
stable.

Ubuntu users won't face these incompatibility issues once Gutsy is
released.
