I like this general approach, but why not have something like a
CFCOMMON.arch for the various "arch"s that need it?

Better yet, I bet that there is already something somewhere in the
Linux kernel source tree that knows what hypervisor Kconfig options
each architecture needs.  If so, it would be most excellent to reuse
that information instead of maintaining it separately in RCU.
