selftests kvm all test cases need pre-required kernel configs for the
tests to get pass.

The KVM tests are skipped without these configs:

        dev_fd = open(KVM_DEV_PATH, O_RDONLY);
        if (dev_fd < 0)
                exit(KSFT_SKIP);

What does the kselftests config file do? I was about to complain that this
would break compiling on non-x86 platforms, but 'make kselftest' and other
forms of invoking the build work fine on aarch64 even with this config
file. So is this just for documentation? If so, then its still obviously
wrong for non-x86 platforms. The only config that makes sense here is KVM.
If the other options need to be documented for x86, then should they get
an additional config file? tools/testing/selftests/kvm/x86_64/config?

Thanks,
drew

My understanding is that a config file fragment requires some kind of
kconfig invocation to create a full .config file.  When you do that,
unknown configurations are dropped silently.

You are right on this point. As you said, unknown configs getting dropped for
arm64 cross compilation.
