Thank you

Hi,

The first problem is that kvm fails to detect the kernel source directory
correctly..

In "configure" the line
   kernelsourcedir=${kerneldir%/*}/source

Only works if ../source is the build parent (e.g. if the source dir is
/lib/modules/<version>/source)

The first patch fixes that. The next is a build problem:

-Iarch/${ARCH_DIR}/include

should be: -I$(KERNELSOURCEDIR)/${ARCH_DIR}/include

In the case of out of place builds. The second patch fixes that.

Cheers, James
