Ok. thanks. Yes,I'm obliged to use a kernel minor than 5.7 and I've chosen 5.4. These are the places where I've found the kvm.h file that I need.
/home/marietto/Desktop/Dati/virt/qemu-v5.1.0/include/sysemu/kvm.h
/home/marietto/Desktop/Dati/virt/qemu-v5.1.0/linux-headers/asm-arm/kvm.h
/home/marietto/Desktop/Dati/virt/qemu-v5.1.0/linux-headers/linux/kvm.h
/home/marietto/Desktop/Dati/200/Si/linux-5.4.244/tools/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h
/home/marietto/Desktop/Dati/200/Si/linux-5.4.244/tools/arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h
/home/marietto/Desktop/Dati/200/Si/linux-5.4.244/include/uapi/linux/kvm.h
/home/marietto/Desktop/Dati/200/Si/linux-5.4.244/include/config/kvm.h
/home/marietto/Desktop/Dati/200/Si/linux-5.4.244/include/trace/events/kvm.h
/home/marietto/Desktop/Dati/200/Si/linux-5.4.244/arch/arm/include/uapi/asm/kvm.h
Basically it seems that I can get it from the qemu 5.1 or from the kernel 5.4 source code files. Can you tell me what's the correct one ? You talked about linux-headers,so it might be this :
/home/marietto/Desktop/Dati/virt/qemu-v5.1.0/linux-headers/linux/kvm.h
?
where should I copy it ? to /usr/include/linux is the right place ?
thanks.

That's surely not the default kernel that comes with Debian bookworm,
as that 5.4 version is many years old.
IIUC the standard bookworm kernel will be 6.4

This shows libvirt was built against a kernel that lacks the
kvm.h header file.
This is expected for armv7 as support for KVM on 32-bit arm was
deleted in the 5.7 kernel. I expect libvirt was built against
the kernel headers from Debian's default 6.4 kernel and thus
lacks KVM support.
Your booting of the old 5.4 kernel doesn't solve this - you
would actually need to build libvirt (and QEMU) against this
outdated kernel too.
With regards,
Daniel
