This is not a regression from 2.6.19, since kvm did not exist in
2.6.19. In any case akpm has the patch and plans to merge it for
2.6.20 so I don't think anyone has to worry about this one.

I know, but a bug that is not present in 2.6.19 is a regression. ;-)

More seriously, I know it's a bit borderline to talk about a regression,
but I think listing things like crashes or compile errors in new
functionality makes sense - especially in such cases where it's about
tracking that a patch doesn't miss 2.6.20.
