From: Borislav Petkov <b...@suse.de> Date: Tue, 16 Apr 2013 18:24:34 +0200 Subject: [PATCH -v2] x86: Add a Kconfig shortcut for kvm guest kernel
This is pretty useful for the case where people want to boot the resulting kernel in qemu/kvm. Instead of going and searching for each required option through the Kconfig maze, this single option should simply enable everything required/good to have to boot the resulting kernel in the guest.
