I could, and I do. The idea, however, is to have this option upstream
so that people don't have to go search for every relevant option for
running the kernel a kvm guest.

Which reminds me: Pekka had a 'make kvmconfig' functionality in
the kvmtool too. Which, TBH, is even better than having a Kconfig
option with a bunch of selects. So, come to think of it, after all
the controversy with such an option, having a 'make kvmconfig' do
scripts/config -e <option> where <option> is in that list we select
would be much better.

This won't break randconfigs at all, btw. :-)

Michal?
