James,
I have the same problem with recent kvm project kernel/Makefile. My kernel
source is in /usr/src/linux. I hand patch kvm's kernel/Makefile every kvm
project release as follows:
--- ../original/kernel/Makefile 2008-04-28 11:54:18.000000000 -0600
+++ Makefile 2008-04-28 11:59:36.000000000 -0600

That's _not_ a portable patch at the very least due to the literal paths. It
works for OpenSuSE 10.3 (a patched 2.6.17 kernel) and kvm at least up to
kvm-68.
Basically, the kernel source's include directory has to come earlier in the
include path priority than kvm's kernel/include/compat. I can't remember if the
change to the LINUX variable is actually necessary.
