Got it. So if we want to remove the "C" file include, we will have to
add #ifdef CONFIG_KVM_GUEST in Makefile.

ifdef CONFIG_KVM_GUEST
obj-$(CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_GUEST) += tdx-kvm.o
#endif

Is there truly no dependency between CONFIG_KVM_GUEST and
CONFIG_INTEL_TDX_GUEST?

We want to re-use TDX code with other hypervisors/guests as well. So
we can't create direct dependency with CONFIG_KVM_GUEST in Kconfig.


If there isn't, then the way we do it is adding another (invisible)
Kconfig variable to express the dependency for tdx-kvm.o:

config INTEL_TDX_GUEST_KVM
bool
depends on KVM_GUEST && INTEL_TDX_GUEST

Currently it will only be used for KVM hypercall code. Will it to be
overkill to create a new config over #ifdefs for this use case ? But,
if this is the preferred approach, I will go with this suggestion.
