Is kvm-kmod still supported?

I've been maintaining a fork for research and tinkering. Is the kvm-kmod standalone module still supported or should I be using the full Linux tree? I find kvm-kmod convenient to keep the source independent of the kernel tree, but I also want to be using the latest and greatest.

The repository I'm referring to is here:
http://git.kiszka.org/?p=kvm-kmod.git;a=summary

However, the "next" branch appears to be out of sync with the latest upstream in the Linux tree.

Thanks so much!

I'm using it occasionally and I have patches that bring it up to date, but only with recent base kernel versions (3.10+ *should* work).
