This may be of no help to you whatever, but I use the --With-patched-kernel flag for configure or the compile of kvm-userspace fails with errors caused by out-of-date headers in /usr/include/linux. I track the git repository of kvm-userspace along with Linus's git kernel repository, which is much more recent than the kernel that Fedora is shipping, so my experience may be quite irrelevant to yours. Just another data point for your reference.
