Sounds good.  I think what you eluded to earlier, a "select" that resolves 
dependencies on the symbols it enables, would be the best way to implement 
something like KVM_GUEST_COMMON_OPTIONS so that it doesn't pick up a 
failure when an option it selects adds a new dependency.  It would reduce 
the size of this particular patch considerably and avoid constantly 
updating its list.
