The standard idiom for this is to use a Kconfig symbol; see for
example HAVE_KVM_IRQCHIP in arch/*/kvm/Kconfig.

Ah, I didn't realize I could do this in such a contained manner. I was
afraid of polluting the top level arch/Kconfig, which is why I went this
other route. But I see from your example that this is not the case. I
will make a v2 with this change.

Note the situation is not as good as it could be, as you have to replicate the Kconfig for each arch. One day I'll set up virt/kvm/Kconfig which will set up defaults, so archs can override them.
