The barrier is not our problem regarding the kvm-kmod build, it's the
addition of native_read_tsc
(http://kernel.ubuntu.com/git?p=ubuntu/ubuntu-hardy.git;a=commitdiff;h=d10247b31c2be39ab3109015bc99bbd2ba6554d4).

Do you know if there is anything to tell this ubuntu-patched kernel
apart from a vanilla version? If so, we could adjust the check in
x86/external-module-compat.h to avoid this breakage. Locally, you could
simply comment out the double definition for now.
