KSM is working in qemu-kvm packages in bpo, for quite long time already. It has nothing to do with libc, and now it does not even require recent-enough kernel headers to compile. What's needed is recent-enough kernel that actually implements the feature. The kernel in Lenny does not KSM support, but the one in bpo has. Also note that Lenny's kernel is too old for kvm. /mjt
