The problem with that is that the test comes too late: after we've configured. Andrew wants to keep allmodconfig working, and for that we need to deselect CONFIG_KVM before compilation starts.

not really. You can also select to just not compile kvm at all *from the
Makefile*

Yes. And then a real user (not an allmodconfig user) selects CONFIG_KVM and wonders where it went.

For users, we want it to fail fatally. For allmodconfig, we want it to succeed but don't care about the output.


gcc.*protector.sh only affects the Makefile, not the configuration, AFAICT.

but it is the Makefile that goes into the kvm directory and compiles
stuff!

yes it's ugly and not so elegant, but it's effective and you can warn
bigtime via nasty messages if you want ;)

We already have an ugly solution:

   #define VMLAUNCH ".byte 0x0f, foo, bar"

etc.  We were looking for an elegant one.
