According to I see in Launchpad, there is a fix released for Qemu and
qemu-kvm (Ubuntu).

I'm using KVM-88 compiled from the source code obtained of the KVM
official site. How I could apply these fix? There is some KVM version
that includes these corrections in the official site?

Thanks for your reply.
