You know, kvm depends on these two configrations.  If user doesn't
configure KVM when building host kernel, then PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS and
ANON_INODES shouldn't be selected .  In this case, once user wants to
exercise KVM later, he has to replace the host kernel again. To some
high-end servers, it maybe infeasible to replace kernel and get a
restart.  So I want to get them selected once users doesn't disable
virtulization explictly. 
 
Thanks
