randconfig testing in next found a dependency issue that I've fix in the
for-linus branch above.  Change from v1 is:

diff --git a/drivers/vfio/pci/Kconfig b/drivers/vfio/pci/Kconfig
index cc7db62..5980758 100644
--- a/drivers/vfio/pci/Kconfig
+++ b/drivers/vfio/pci/Kconfig

 config VFIO_PCI
 	tristate "VFIO support for PCI devices"
-	depends on VFIO && PCI
+	depends on VFIO && PCI && EVENTFD
 	help
 	  Support for the PCI VFIO bus driver.  This is required to make
 	  use of PCI drivers using the VFIO framework.

If anyone wants a full resend of v2 to the list with this change, please
let me know.  Thanks,

Alex
