With this change, you can't actually change this config option. It's
purely subject to CONFIG_DRM_I915_GVT_KVMGT. You need to enable KVMGT to
even see this option, but enabling it will enable this one too. You
can't disable this before you disable KVMGT, but then disabling KVMGT
will disable this one too. This config option becomes pointless as a
visible option. Which isn't all that bad, considering
Documentation/kbuild/kconfig-language.txt:

  Note:
	select should be used with care. select will force
	a symbol to a value without visiting the dependencies.
	By abusing select you are able to select a symbol FOO even
	if FOO depends on BAR that is not set.
	In general use select only for non-visible symbols
	(no prompts anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies.
	That will limit the usefulness but on the other hand avoid
	the illegal configurations all over.

BR,
Jani.
