We've found a build issue on release tarballs: if we take a recent
release tarball, build it using the usual sequence
./configure
make
make install
The modules generated can't be loaded due to unresolved symbols related
to kvm trace. While fixing the problem, we noticed that is not possible
to pass the --with-kvm-trace option to the main qemu configure script.
This patch makes it possible to cascade --with-kvm-trace option from the
qemu toplevel configure script to the KVM kernel configure script. It is
our understanding that this cascading is desirable, however we are not
completely sure about it, hence we are asking for comments on this
change.
The actual fix for the issue we found will follow, however the patches
are independant.
