Subject: [PATCH v2 0/5] Replace CONFIG_HAVE_KVM with more appropriate symbols.

CONFIG_HAVE_KVM is currently used with three meanings:

- some architectures use it to enabled the KVM config proper, depending
  on CPU capabilities (MIPS)

- some architectures use it to enable host-side code that is not part of
  the KVM module (x86)

- to enable common Kconfigs required by all architectures that support
  KVM, currently CONFIG_EVENTFD

These three meanings can be replaced respectively by an architecture-
specific Kconfig, by IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM), or by a new Kconfig symbol
that is in turn selected by the architecture-specific "config KVM".
This is what each of the first three patches does.  After this,
CONFIG_HAVE_KVM is unused and can be removed.

This fixes architectures (PPC and RISC-V) that do not have CONFIG_HAVE_KVM=y
and therefore fail to select CONFIG_EVENTFD.  Patch 1, and probably patch 2
too, will be quickly applied to 6.8 to fix this build failure.  The rest
can be delayed to the early -rc period, or 6.9 if desired.

Paolo Bonzini (5):
  KVM: introduce CONFIG_KVM_COMMON
  KVM: fix direction of dependency on MMU notifiers
  MIPS: introduce Kconfig for MIPS VZ
  x86, vfio, gdb: replace CONFIG_HAVE_KVM with IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_KVM)
  treewide: remove CONFIG_HAVE_KVM
