We probably should add a patch which makes RISCV select HAVE_KVM and
KVM depend on HAVE_KVM in order for riscv kvm to be consistent with
the other KVM supporting architectures.

Hmm. riscv kvm selects HAVE_KVM_EVENTFD, which selects EVENTFD. I'm
not sure how the lack of HAVE_KVM is leading to this.
