Its unclear what you mean by that, can you describe what is required
to accomplish this on a fresh git tree. Can you describe what expectations
you have on build time to see if this patch breaks that and if so see
what can be done to avoid this? All the changes I did here really was
to toss around variables to be set through autoconf and if building
the hypervisor requries them then yes, but fixing that should be as
easy as adding schecks to add sensible defaults if configure has not
been run.
