Yes, I think the help should be clearer

If we are going to add a bunch of  #ifdefs/etc for ADMIN_LEGACY we
may as well just use VIRTIO_PCI_ADMIN_LEGACY directly and not
introduce another kconfig for it?

Is there any reason to compile out the migration support for virtio?
No other drivers were doing this?

kconfig combinations are painful, it woudl be nice to not make too
many..
