Um. Now I'm completely confused.

The two mentioned patches, just like most of the
larger series from Zachary Amsden, are for _host_
kernel, right?

The two backports:

arch/x86/kvm/svm.c | 2 +-
kvm/arch/x86/kvm/svm.c | 2 +-

that's for _host_, not guest...

For some reason I tried several patches like the
two here for _guest_, not for host. No doubt there
were no difference in the results.

For host, things are quite different. While 2.6.32
is still very important there, it's not _that_
important as for guest.

As far as I can see, most of these can be dealt with
by re-loading kvm modules. Let me try these and some
of the earlier patches...

Oh well... Confusion, confusion, confusion.... :)
