Currently, CONFIG_VHOST depends on CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION. But vhost is
not necessarily for VM since it's a generic userspace and kernel
communication protocol. Such dependency may prevent archs without
virtualization support from using vhost.

To solve this, a dedicated vhost menu is created under drivers so
CONIFG_VHOST can be decoupled out of CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION.
FWIW, this now results in vhost not being build with defconfig kernels (in todays
linux-next).


Hi Christian:

Did you meet it even with this commitÂhttps://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/next/linux-next.git/commit/?id=a4be40cbcedba9b5b714f3c95182e8a45176e42d?

If yes, what's your build config looks like?

Thanks
