It is the upcoming VFIO PCI drivers I'm looking at, eg the
MLX5_VFIO_PCI

It goes from this:

  --- VFIO Non-Privileged userspace driver framework
  [*]   VFIO No-IOMMU support
  <*>   VFIO support for PCI devices
  <*>     Generic VFIO support for any PCI device
  [*]       Generic VFIO PCI support for VGA devices
  [*]       Generic VFIO PCI extensions for Intel graphics (GVT-d)
  <*>     VFIO support for MLX5 PCI devices (NEW)
  <*>   VFIO support for platform devices
  <*>     VFIO support for AMBA devices
  <*>     VFIO support for calxeda xgmac reset
  <*>     VFIO support for AMD XGBE reset
  <*>     VFIO support for Broadcom FlexRM reset
  <*>   Mediated device driver framework
  <*>   VFIO support for QorIQ DPAA2 fsl-mc bus devices

To this:

  --- VFIO Non-Privileged userspace driver framework
  [*]   VFIO No-IOMMU support
  <*>   Generic VFIO support for any PCI device
  [*]     Generic VFIO PCI support for VGA devices
  [*]     Generic VFIO PCI extensions for Intel graphics (GVT-d)
  < >   VFIO support for MLX5 PCI devices (NEW)
  <*>   VFIO support for platform devices
  <*>     VFIO support for AMBA devices
  <*>     VFIO support for calxeda xgmac reset
  <*>     VFIO support for AMD XGBE reset
  <*>     VFIO support for Broadcom FlexRM reset
  <*>   Mediated device driver framework
  <*>   VFIO support for QorIQ DPAA2 fsl-mc bus devices

Look at how "VFIO support for MLX5 PCI devices" has changed its
position.

Arnd's suggstion to add a menu seems OK, it gives another screen in
kconfig but it does group them.

My preference is the first version because it is simplest. Adding menu
seems like something to do if we get > 5 more drivers. Just hiding it
preserves back compat but hurts the UI.

Honestly, I don't care very much, if Alex values kconfig backcompat
higher than the UI then lets use the diff in my last email.
