compile error on .83

compile error on .83

[Jerry Geis]

I am getting a compile error on .83 - same compile error I got on .81
Forgot what I did to get .81 to compile ... was surprised today when I 
downloaded .83 and had the same error.

make[2]: Entering directory 
`/home/silentm/MessageNet/linux_kernel/linux-2.6.27.10'

Compile your host kernel with kvm as a module.  You can drop the .ko if 
you want to use the modules from kvm-83.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
