The use case is to be able to take a .config posted in a bug report
and easily turn that into something that the KVM tool can boot.

"kvmconfig" really represents a virtualized x86 architecture
configuration. Maybe the naming is off because it's not about
individual features like paeconfig or nfsconfig would be but rather
about turning on all the required options for virtualized x86 for the
KVM tool.

If you have better ideas how to do this, we're happy to change the
implementation.
