Hi!

As Paolo explained to me, qemu syncs the kernel headers every once in a while
thus when I submit a feature to qemu which uses a new KVM feature, while
I should submit a patch to add it to the kernel headers, the patch is only
for the reference.

In this particular case, I first updated the qemu's kernel headers to
match the kvm/queue branch, then added my feature to the kernel, and updated
the qemu kernel headers again. This patch is the diff between 1st and second
update to make it more readable.

Best regards,
