Re: [PATCH] vfio-pci/zdev: require KVM to be built-in

[Pierre Morel <pmorel@linux.ibm.com>]

Thank you Randy for this good catch.
However forcing KVM to be include statically in the kernel when using 
VFIO_PCI extensions is not a good solution for us I think.

I suggest we better do something like:

What do you think? It seems to me it solves the problem, what do you think?
