Hi,

kvm-72 does not compile with 2.6.26 kernels ( x86-64bits):

=2E/configure && make gives :

/usr/local/src/kvm-72/kernel/anon_inodes.c: In function=20
=E2=80=98kvm_anon_inode_getfd=E2=80=99:
/usr/local/src/kvm-72/kernel/anon_inodes.c:254: error: too many=20
arguments to function =E2=80=98anon_inode_getfd=E2=80=99

Were does this "int flag" come from ??
