Sure.  As I mention in the newer README, I expect that we can track the 
kernel more closely as long as we're in a development branch (x.y.50).  
We just need to make sure that we use kernel releases for QEMU 
releases.  I think this should work out well for qemu-kvm.git too, right?

This new patch also implements the need for -D__user in CFLAGS FWIW.
