Hi,

I'm currently experiencing build failures when CONFIG_MMU_NOTIFIERS
is
not set. Is this intended? If so, it might be nice to put a
configure-
check or #error somewhere to tell the user that enabling mmu
notifiers
became mandatory.

Yeah, I think it's intended. In fact, it was selected by KVM
, so if you compile a kernel with KVM, I think it would work...

Well - it makes it pretty hard to build KVM as an external module (which I prefer due to many reasons) and I've actually had a problem to find the
option in make menuconfig somewhere - is it even selectable?

CONFIG_MMU_NOITFIER? No... It's automatically selected, if you select KVM,
either in-kernel or module. Please refer to arch/x86/kvm/Kconfig.

So if I don't select kvm in the kernel (either as module or compiled in) I can't build an external module providing kvm's functionality? That doesn't seem really useful to me...
