hi,

i cannot access my computer now, so i can only tell you what i remember.

i am using gentoo amd64, and the portage is updated. the kernel have
kvm modules compiled. when i was trying to emerge kvm-kmod, it is said
to have been masked, so i unmasked it. but while compiling, kvm-kmod
failed with an error message like:

cannot file arc/x86/trace.h file

Masked packages are usually masked for a reason. I would check on google
and then the gentoo bugzilla and see if anyone else has had the same
problem, and how they fixed it.

That reason is given in /usr/portage/profiles/package.mask

An expert is nothing more than an ordinary person away from home.

/var/portage/profiles/package.mask:

# Doug Goldstein <cardoe@gentoo.org> (22 Nov 2009)
# masking until this package can follow the actual
# kvm-kmod upstream package
app-emulation/kvm-kmod


That seems to imply the reason for the hard mask is version incompatibility
