I have downloaded both the qemu-1.1.0  from qemu.org and 
qemu-kvm-1.1-rc4 from sourceforge.net and successfully built the 
binaries with just doing ./configure. My previous builds (0.12.5 and 
0.15.1) were all using the qemu-kvm branch.

I did notice that the qemu-system-x86_64 from qemu-1.1.0 runs much 
slower than the one from qemu-kvm-1.1-rc4 even after I did a ./configure 
--enable-kvm. After reading the KVM page from qemu.org I realized I need 
to provide extra runtime options to turn on the acceleration. I will 
stick with the qemu-kvm binaries for now until they merge in the 
future.. The build time using the qemu-kvm branch is also much faster.
