Other way round.  In the patch that adds account_guest_time(), have a
CONFIG_GUEST_ACCOUNTING (defaulting to n, with no description, help, or
dependencies.  Then, CONFIG_KVM can select GUEST_ACCOUNTING.

The advantages of this are:
- the puppyvisor can also select this if it so wishes
- we don't have core code reference some obscure module

CONFIG_PREEMPT_NOTIFIERS does the same thing.
