I got confused by this at first, I was thinking "but if there's a
conflict, I generally _can't_ select it in the main view, because it's
hidden, because of the conflict!".
However then I discovered xconfig has a "show all options" setting.
(Then if you ctrl-F for a config and click it, it shows up in the main
view).
After that, this worked great, I was able to switch on CONFIG_KVM_AMD
from a starting point of 'make tinyconfig', without having to faff
around trying to remember its dependencies. Nice!
So maybe it's worth highlighting this 'Options' > 'Show all Options'
setting here.
