Enable CONFIG_VPA_PMU with KVM to enable its usage. Currently, the
vpa-pmu driver cannot be used since it is not enabled in distro configs.

That seems like a problem to take up with distros, no?

Rather than enabling individually for different distros, wouldn't it be
better if it is enabled with KVM automatically? I can rephrase the
commit log to emphasize that this config option is only relevant for
KVM (similar to CONFIG_KVM_BOOK3S_HV_PMU).


Thanks,
