Yup, we could, something like:

menu "VFIO support for platform devices"
	depends on ARM || ARM64 || COMPILE_TEST

And we could move VFIO_VIRQFD to VFIO_PLATFORM_BASE

config VFIO_PLATFORM_BASE
	tristate
	select VFIO_VIRQFD

VFIO_AMBA would then only depend on ARM_AMBA and both would select
VFIO_PLATFORM_BASE.

I did see that AMBA sets reset_required = false, but at the same time
the handling of reset modules is in the base driver, so if there were
an AMBA reset driver, wouldn't it also live in the reset/ directory?
It seems like we'd therefore want to traverse into reset/Kconfig, but
maybe if all the current config options in there are non-AMBA we should
wrap them in 'if VFIO_PLATFORM' (or 'depends on' for each, but the 'if'
is marginally cleaner).  Thanks,

Alex
