You mean "I want to try LVS with no real PC but only guest ones", right? If 
so, the UML guests' kernel must have the LVS patch in it.

The UML build uses different Config.in files, so the LVS patch didn't patch 
them. The simplest solution I can imagine is to configure LVS with the normal 
arch, then open .config and save somewhere the lines regarding LVS. Then 
configure the kernel for UML and paste those lines you saved in the new 
.config you get.
