Subject: [patch] config: fix make kvmconfig 

make kvmconfig selects CONFIG_SERIAL_8250 without selecting its 
dependencies causing some configs to fail:

drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.c:57:32: error: 'CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_RUNTIME_UARTS' undeclared here (not in a function)
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.c:2712:47: error: 'CONFIG_SERIAL_8250_NR_UARTS' undeclared here (not in a function)
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.c: In function 'serial8250_console_write':
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.c:2843:10: error: 'struct uart_port' has no member named 'sysrq'
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.c: In function 'early_serial_setup':
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.c:2971:20: error: negative width in bit-field '<anonymous>'
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.c: At top level:
drivers/tty/serial/8250/8250.c:2712:30: warning: 'serial8250_ports' defined but not used [-Wunused-variable]

Fix this by selecting CONFIG_TTY as well, which CONFIG_SERIAL_8250 
requires.

 Ok, so this patch has been sitting in linux-next for well over a year and
 has had to be fixed several times with follow up commits similar to this.
 Linus hasn't pulled kvmtool, so I'm wondering why we need to keep this
 around in the first place?
