virtio doesn't mean "virtual versions of devices that also exist in
hardware"; those are indeed in arch/ARCH/kvm.  virtio is a specific bus
for paravirtualized devices.  It is not KVM-specific and the code runs
in the guest (whereas arch/arm64/kvm/Kconfig is host code).

That said, drivers/virtio/Kconfig is already sourced by drivers/Kconfig.
Why do you need to source it again here?
