I was aware of the sanitized kernel headers, but was mislead by the line kerneldir=/lib/modules/$(uname -r)/build in kvm/user/configure. What I didn't realize is that this always gets overridden by kvm/configure. Maybe we can change the default in kvm/user/configure to something more sensible: --- [PATCH] kvm: user: fix default kerneldir calling ./configure in kvm/user sets the kerneldir to the currently running kernel, which is incorrect for user code. This changes the default to the sanitized header files from the kvm/kernel directory.
