With current upstream changes, VMX operation now relies on have the 
user-notifiers infrastructure.  This makes kvm-kmod use on older kernels 
untenable.

I looked a bit at fixing the underlying problem by simulating the 
user-return callback when we context switch, but it is uglier than I 
would like.

Is anyone currently working on a fix?  This is blocking my development 
work, so if there is no action it looks like I will have to fix it myself.

Thanks,

Zach
