If this is desirable for broader testing, we can make config PARAVIRT visible and selectable on menuconfig, even when there is no guest implementation being enabled. Should I do it?Yes please.
This will allow people to enable the paravirt_ops code even when no guest support is enabled, for broader testing of the paravirt_ops code. Signed-off-by: Eduardo Habkost <redacted> --- arch/x86/Kconfig | 18 +++++++++--------- 1 files changed, 9 insertions(+), 9 deletions(-)
