x86/kconfig: Add a Kconfig shortcut for building working KVM guest kernels

This is pretty useful for the case where people want to boot the
resulting kernel in qemu/kvm or lkvm. Instead of going and
searching for each required option through the Kconfig maze,
this single option should simply enable everything required/good
to have to boot the resulting kernel in the guest.

Patch has been adapted from a version in the external lkvm tree.
