I've just (forced-)pushed the "simple" version with

It's customary to install to /usr/local, not to /usr (qemu does the same).
Right. Specifically, an install from source should go to /usr/local/include
by default, while a distro package should override the path to go to
/usr/include, which the current version easily allows.
This also means that qemu will have to look in three places now,
/usr/local/include/kvm-kmod, /usr/include/kvm-kmod and /usr/include.
Adding /usr/local/include probably doesn't hurt but should not be
necessary.
The only icky bit is that /usr/local/include/kvm-kmod will stick around
after the user forgets about it and switches to the kernel headers. I
don't see a way around it (it's the generic uninstall problem), so I
think we should just live with it.

I have a truly marvellous patch that fixes the bug which this
