An approach like the following is preferred:
kvm/Kconfig:
# config symbols to be selected by archs that implment virtualization/kvm
config HAVE_VIRTUALIZATION
config HAVE_KVM
menuconfig VIRTUALIZATION
bool "..."
depends on HAVE_VIRTUALIZATION
config KVM
tristate "..."
depends on HAVE_KVM
arch/x86/Kconfig:
config X86
select HAVE_VIRTUALIZATION
select HAVE_KVM
I dunno about the additional "HAVE_VIRTUALIZATION" - I added it
because I assume virtualization is more than just kvm.
The rationales behinds this approach is:
-> We do not define a new config variable for each arch
-> We have a common way to say that an arch supports a feature
-> We have a common naming scheme
