Custom packages overwriting existing system files

I'm trying to make a package for kvm (http://kvm.qumranet.com/kvmwiki). I've succesfully created some custom packages in the past but kvm provides its own kernel modules and a custom /usr/include/linux/kvm.h.
Both the modules and the header file are already on the system and that's why pacman can not install the custom package.

What do you advise as a nice/clean way to solve this?
Thanks, Wilco

Re: Custom packages overwriting existing system files

kvm module is integrated into the kernel and qemu is patched to use kvm, there's no need for another package

/dev/zero: symbolic link to '/dev/brain'
