Thanks, I'll look as soon as possible into why this has happened.
Although this obviously has nothing to do with the nested patches themselves
(which didn't touch anything outside KVM, and certainly nothing related to
smbfs) so there must be something wrong with the base version I used - which
I thought (but I'll recheck) was just the current kvm.git master head at the
time I sent the patches.  Needless to say, I did try compiling this version
(and running it), but I used a very minimal .config, and didn't try to compile
smbfs.

I have rebased the patches to the latest kvm.git head at the time I sent the
patches - not to any official KVM or Linux version. If the "latest rc kernel"
contains a recent enough version of KVM, the patches might work on it, but
I simply don't know (and haven't tested it).

Good luck, and I'll look into the non-compiling smbfs issue right after the
weekend. Thanks,

Nadav.
