It seems strange wanting to build a feature not present in the kernel headers. Why not upgrading the build system kernel? > In order to work around this, one solution is to put in simplified > kernel header (this is what the compat stuff is already doing). The other solution (as already suggested by Anatoly) is to have a configure script (not an autotool one). It would make clear that VFIO support is not built.
