Ah, nice!  We can go even further to:

	depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS && HAVE_KVM

though I'm pretty sure all architectures that select HAVE_KVM also select
HAVE_PERF_EVENTS.

Huh.  arm64 doesn't select HAVE_KVM even though it selects almost literally every
other HAVE_KVM_* config.  arm64 has some other weirdness with CONFIG_KVM, I'll add
a patch or two to fix that stuff and amend this patch as above.

Thanks again!
