"arch/x86/kvm/" shouldn't be confused with an absolute path... If you give a relative path to the M= option, it is relative to the top of the build tree, not relative to the top of the source tree. If you use the relative path correctly, it is interchangeable with the absolute path. It did not work as you expected because you used it in the wrong way. -- Best Regards Masahiro Yamada
