Right, so how about something more concrete in this whole discussion:

Maybe add the KVMTOOL_TEST_ENABLE (maybe rename it to a more fitting
name like KVM_OPTS or similar) thing to a new toplevel Kconfig menu
called "Distro and other profiles" or so:

  │ │                                       General setup  --->
  │ │                                       Distros and other profiles  --->			<---
  │ │                                   [*] Enable loadable module support  --->
  │ │                                   [*] Enable the block layer  --->
  │ │                                       Processor type and features  --->
 ...

Btw, which Kconfig option is needed for "-usbdevice tablet" support so
that the host mouse can be able to send scroll events to the guest qemu
screen without the need for the qemu screen to capture it so that I need
to "escape" it everytime I need to return to the host? And can we add it
to the list of options KVMTOOL_TEST_ENABLE selects?

Thanks.
