I admit that I don't have any answers, especially since this whole
thing
is new to me. Like I said, I don't know much about KVM internals, so
I
just don't understand why KVM guests need to have access to these
kernel
header files as if they're user header files. The guests are still
Linux
kernels (or other OSes that think they're running as privileged code).
For hypercalls and other paravirt. That's the point -- they're not
kernel headers. They're guest API headers.
