Sanity check question:
Why not add the select stuff, i.e. this:
select NET
select NETDEVICES
select PCI
select BLOCK
select BLK_DEV
select NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS
select INET
select EXPERIMENTAL
select TTY
select SERIAL_8250
select SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE
select IP_PNP
select IP_PNP_DHCP
select BINFMT_ELF
select PCI_MSI
select HAVE_ARCH_KGDB
select DEBUG_KERNEL
select KGDB
select KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE
select VIRTUALIZATION
select VIRTIO
select VIRTIO_RING
select VIRTIO_PCI
select VIRTIO_BLK
select VIRTIO_CONSOLE
select VIRTIO_NET
select 9P_FS
select NET_9P
select NET_9P_VIRTIO
to the option below which we already have. It is in the same sense a KVM
guest support deal.
Hmm.
KVM people, any objections?
config KVM_GUEST
bool "KVM Guest support (including kvmclock)"
depends on PARAVIRT
select PARAVIRT_CLOCK
