This repository seems pretty messed up; I'm not even sure what you want
from me. Some of the bigger problems:

      * configure completely ignores --kerneldir and only uses
        kvm/kernel headers instead.
      * The headers in kvm/kernel/arch/foo seem to be the important
        ones, but they have odd ifdefs at the top and I'm not sure how
        they should be generated.
      * "make -C kvm/kernel sync" doesn't even come close to working.

There are a host of other issues and confusing issues, even with a fresh
checkout. In general it seems like the mess that was kvm-userspace has
been rearranged, and as a consequence is even worse than before.

How am I supposed to create kvm/kernel/arch/powerpc/include/asm/*? Just
cp from a Linux tree, or must I add funny ifdefs somehow?

Here's one patch that I think will be needed:


Set kvm_arch=powerpc for PPC builds.

The name of the Linux arch directory is "powerpc", not "ppc".
