    Sanity check question:

    Why not add the select stuff, i.e. this:

    select NET
    select NETDEVICES
    select PCI
    select BLOCK
    select BLK_DEV
    select NETWORK_FILESYSTEMS
    select INET
    select EXPERIMENTAL
    select TTY
    select SERIAL_8250
    select SERIAL_8250_CONSOLE
    select IP_PNP
    select IP_PNP_DHCP
    select BINFMT_ELF
    select PCI_MSI
    select HAVE_ARCH_KGDB
    select DEBUG_KERNEL
    select KGDB
    select KGDB_SERIAL_CONSOLE
    select VIRTUALIZATION
    select VIRTIO
    select VIRTIO_RING
    select VIRTIO_PCI
    select VIRTIO_BLK
    select VIRTIO_CONSOLE
    select VIRTIO_NET
    select 9P_FS
    select NET_9P
    select NET_9P_VIRTIO

    to the option below which we already have. It is in the same sense a KVM
    guest support deal.

    Hmm.

    KVM people, any objections?

    config KVM_GUEST
    bool "KVM Guest support (including kvmclock)"
    depends on PARAVIRT
    select PARAVIRT_CLOCK
    default y
    ---help---
    This option enables various optimizations for running under the KVM
    hypervisor. It includes a paravirtualized clock, so that instead
    of relying on a PIT (or probably other) emulation by the
    underlying device model, the host provides the guest with
    timing infrastructure such as time of day, and system time
