I'm trying to compile kvm-35 (from the git repository) on Ubuntu Feisty 
(all up to date) and I get the following error:

cam@madhatter:~/src/KVM/kvm-userspace$ sudo make
make -C kernel
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/cam/src/KVM/kvm-userspace/kernel'
make -C /lib/modules/2.6.20-15-generic/build M=`pwd` "$@"

make[2]: *** [_module_/home/cam/src/KVM/kvm-userspace/kernel] Error 2

make[1]: *** [all] Error 2
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/cam/src/KVM/kvm-userspace/kernel'
make: *** [kernel] Error 2

I have to admit that I'm a little fuzzy on the modules that are needed 
to build a particular kvm release (and where to get them from).

Initially, I used Ubuntu's apt install and then moved on to buidling 
kvm-33 from source tar ball which built fine.  But, the kvm-33 tarball 
had the svm source files in the the kernel directory.  I notice those 
files are not in the kvm-35 kernel directory (and are causing the 
failure above).  Is there some other repo svm files are part of?

Thanks,
Cam
