[ffe] Upgrade kvm from vers. 60 to 62

I'd like to humbly request permission to upgrade kvm from version 60 to
version 62.

This version of kvm (like the last 15 of them :) ) fixes loads of bugs.

diffstat and diff will be attached shortly.

I've marked all the bugfixes with '*', the new features with '+' and
stuff that doesn't apply to us for various reasons with '-'.

I've of coursed built it succesfully and used it locally all day.

It's my clear feeling that the benefit of the vast amount of actual
fixes here outweighs the theoretical bugs introduced by adding the
new features.

The are no changes that affect reverse dependencies negatively.

Note: While this bug is filed against the kvm package, I'm also asking
for permission to update the modules in the kernel.
