randconfig testing in next found a dependency issue that I've fix in the
for-linus branch above. Change from v1 is:

diff --git a/drivers/vfio/pci/Kconfig b/drivers/vfio/pci/Kconfig
index cc7db62..5980758 100644

tristate "VFIO support for PCI devices"
- depends on VFIO && PCI
+ depends on VFIO && PCI && EVENTFD
help
Support for the PCI VFIO bus driver. This is required to make
use of PCI drivers using the VFIO framework.

If anyone wants a full resend of v2 to the list with this change, please
let me know. Thanks,

Alex
