So which file should I start from?
qemu-kvm is the userspace component, kvm-kmod is the kernel component as
an external module. 'kvm' is a package containing both.
That helps a lot; maybe that info could go up on the bugs or faq page.
I couldn't find it (that is, there is info that there are kernel and
user space components, but not how these relate to the tar files).
Yes, I plan on writing something up.
In general the best place to start is with the distro provided packages.
My distro (Debian) is only at 85, even in unstable. Since it wasn't
current, and also the dependencies will have wide effects on my system
(which I'm trying to keep at the stable release Lenny), I figured
getting the current source and building it myself would be the best
move. For other reasons I'm already running a 2.6.30 kernel from
Debian, which includes kernel side kvm. So I figure I only need to mess
with user space.
Right, stick with your kernel's kvm.ko, qemu-kvm-0.11.0 should make a
good fit.

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