Yes, they moved to a new method since 7.2.10 which explicitly requires KVM initialization, so I removed #52910 workaround. This is also noted in the commitmsg. As it does not need user intervention, I did not add an INSTALL.msg.

The compiled package is tested to work on 6.18, 7.0 and 7.1, but not work on 6.12. (KVM init is introduced in linux-6.12, so this change does not affect earlier versions, i.e. 5.10-6.1).

Hmm, for competency I tested on linux-6.12 but it does NOT work and requires options kvm enable_virt_at_load=0. However, every other kernel does not need this parameter. I'm not sure how to solve this, changing linux6.12 package template sounds a bit dirty.
