The devil is rather in the fact the RHEL kernels are heavily patched, and kvm-kmod was developed against vanilla kernels regarding which features to expect in which version. So you may have to resolve some build problems by identifying the RHEL kernel, analyzing which additional features it has (compared to vanilla), and adjust the wrapping/patching methods in kvm-kmod accordingly. I'm open to review/merge such adjustments if someone contributes them.
