Eelco Dolstra c955f608a2 * KVM 69. Seems to improve performance quite a bit. In particular it
implements the host support for virtio devices in Linux >= 2.6.25
  guests.  Network performance shows a huge improvement with
  virtio_net, which should be good for the build farm (which uses
  Samba/CIFS to mount the file system of the host).
* Kernel headers for 2.6.26-rc5 added to build KVM 69.  Also added the
  2.6.25 headers, which turned out to be too old for KVM 69.
