Additional FYI The QEMU patch is implemented as a kernel module, so you don't have to re-compile the kernel, in openSUSE it's available as a very ordinary package. On other distros, implementation of course should be similar. If no already available as a package(BTW - the openSUSE RPM is probably cross platform so probably would work on any other RPM based distro) you should be able to build from source and add it manually to your available kernel modules.
