Jason Gunthorpe 07e543f4f9 vfio/gvt: Make DRM_I915_GVT depend on VFIO_MDEV
At some point there may have been some reason for this weird split in this
driver, but today only the VFIO side is actually implemented.

However, it got messed up at some point and mdev code was put in gvt.c and
is pretending to be "generic" by masquerading as some generic attribute list:

   static MDEV_TYPE_ATTR_RO(description);

But MDEV_TYPE attributes are only usable with mdev_device, nothing else.

Ideally all of this would be moved to kvmgt.c, but it is entangled with
the rest of the "generic" code in an odd way. Thus put in a kconfig
dependency so we don't get randconfig failures when the next patch creates
a link time dependency related to the use of MDEV_TYPE.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
