It can be used to update the kernel-side support of kvm without upgrading the host kernel. Download is available at https://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/kvm-kmod/2.6.31.6/kvm-kmod-2.6.31.6.tar.bz2/download KVM changes since kvm-kmod-2.6.31.5: - Prevent kvm_init from corrupting debugfs structures - Fix NULL pointer access due to race in in-kernel timer chips - Ignore reads from AMDs C1E enabled MSR - get_tss_base_addr() should return a gpa_t (fixes Windows2k3 issue with >4G RAM) kvm-kmod changes: - Avoid build breakage against Ubuntu Hardy - Add kernel version fence (prevents building against too old or too new kernels) Enjoy, Jan
