Or even just
bool "AMD"
...
bool "Intel"

On top of this, it's also nice to hide the KVM_INTEL/KVM_AMD prompts if
linking statically. You can achieve that with
config KVM_INTEL
tristate
prompt "KVM for Intel processors support" if KVM=m
depends on (KVM=m && m) || KVM_INTEL_STATIC
config KVM_AMD
tristate
prompt "KVM for AMD processors support" if KVM=m
depends on (KVM=m && m) || KVM_AMD_STATIC
The left side of the "||" ensures that, if KVM=m, you can only choose
module build for both KVM_INTEL and KVM_AMD. Having just "depends on
KVM" would allow a pre-existing .config to choose the now-invalid
combination
CONFIG_KVM=y
CONFIG_KVM_INTEL=y
CONFIG_KVM_AMD=y
The right side of the "||" part is just for documentation, to avoid that
a selected symbol does not satisfy its dependencies.
Thanks,
