Description Richard Yao (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2011-12-27 04:16:22 UTC 
Commit 64c8f7b9a24b1de710ad8413da503d61ede6ae45 to Linux 2.6.32.y
broke kvm-kmod. There are preprocessor directives in kvm-kmod that
appear to be intended to remedy this, but there is a logical error in
them. I have attached a patch that corrects that.

I have sent this patch has been sent to the KVM mailing list.

This patch was developed against app-emulation/kvm-kmod-3.1, which is not in the portage tree, but it also applies to app-emulation/kvm-kmod-2.6.38.6, which is in the portage tree. Bringing app-emulation/kvm-kmod-3.1 into the portage tree is nothing more than a simple version bump.
