Subject: [PATCH -v2] x86: Add a kvm config file

Add an config file snippet which enables additional options useful for
running the kernel in a kvm guest. When you execute 'make kvmconfig' it
merges those options with an already existing user config before you
build the kernel.

Based on an patch from the external lkvm tree.

So I've been running this for a while now and seems like the cleanest
solution to me ATM.
