I am mostly surprised to see that the KVM_API_VERSION (that comes with a nice 
comment stating that it should be updated on API changes) does not seem to have 
been changed since pre 2.6...despite numerous changes :-)

I don't think it is a big problem that we gate the KVM work on kernels after 
2.6.35, which effectively is what this check does.
