I think what you eluded to earlier, a "select" that resolves dependencies on the symbols it enables, would be the best way to implement something like KVM_GUEST_COMMON_OPTIONS so that it doesn't pick up a failure when an option it selects adds a new dependency. It would reduce the size of this particular patch considerably and avoid constantly updating its list. -- To unsubscribe from this list: send the line "unsubscribe linux-kernel" in the body of a message to majordomo@vger.kernel.org More majordomo info at http://vger.kernel.org/majordomo-info.html Please read the FAQ at http://www.tux.org/lkml/
