Yes, kvm-kmod is starting to bitrot. I just noticed I messed up the last stable release back in August, and no one seems to have noticed it. There were no complains about the missing releases for 3.11 and 3.12, so it the relevance must have dropped significantly. kvm-kmod is still useful for hacking, so I'm considering to stop providing releases (except for a final 3.10.21), just updates in git to allow wrapping of latest kvm head on recent kernels. There are breakages with kernels < 3.0 now, about which I personally do not care anymore, so lifting the entrance level to 3.0 seems reasonable. > > For completeness, here is the patch I am using right now. Is there anything in your patch that is still required with current kvm-kmod next? Then I would be happy about a patch!
