AFAIK non-KVM code should never try to include one of the Linux headers
to avoid breaking on non-Linux platforms (for example <linux/types.h> is
not available on OS X, see http://patchwork.ozlabs.org/patch/424655/ ).
So it's a little bit ugly to define these things twice, but it seems
the only way to stay portable.
