Ah, nice! We can go even further to:
depends on HAVE_PERF_EVENTS && HAVE_KVM
though I'm pretty sure all architectures that select HAVE_KVM also select
HAVE_PERF_EVENTS.
Huh. arm64 doesn't select HAVE_KVM even though it selects almost literally every
other HAVE_KVM_* config. arm64 has some other weirdness with CONFIG_KVM, I'll add
a patch or two to fix that stuff and amend this patch as above.
Thanks again!
