I am getting a compile error on .83 - same compile error I got on .81
Forgot what I did to get .81 to compile ... was surprised today when I downloaded .83 and had the same error.

Compile your host kernel with kvm as a module. You can drop the .ko if you want to use the modules from kvm-83.

Do not meddle in the internals of kernels, for they are subtle and quick to panic.
