Having the dependency below the top-level Kconfig entry feels a little
counterintuitive. You could flip that back as it was before by doing

      select HYPERV_VTL_MODE if !ACPI
      depends on ACPI || SMP

in the HYPERV option, leaving the dependency on HYPERV in
HYPERV_VTL_MODE.

Is OF_EARLY_FLATTREE actually needed on x86?
