This package contains the kvm external modules, using the sources from latest stable Linux release 2.6.31.6. It can be used to update the kernel-side support of kvm without upgrading the host kernel. Download is available at

https://sourceforge.net/projects/kvm/files/kvm-kmod/2.6.31.6/kvm-kmod-2.6.31.6.tar.bz2/download

KVM changes since kvm-kmod-2.6.31.5:
- Prevent kvm_init from corrupting debugfs structures
- Fix NULL pointer access due to race in in-kernel timer chips
- Ignore reads from AMDs C1E enabled MSR
- get_tss_base_addr() should return a gpa_t
(fixes Windows2k3 issue with >4G RAM)

kvm-kmod changes:
- Avoid build breakage against Ubuntu Hardy
- Add kernel version fence
(prevents building against too old or too new kernels)

Enjoy,
Jan
