drivers/vdpa/mlx5/ uses vhost_iotlb*() interfaces, so add a dependency
on VHOST to eliminate build errors.

While we are here, can anyone who apply this patch delete the "default n" line?
It is by default "n".

Hmm other drivers select VHOST_IOTLB, why not do the same?

I can't see another driver doing that. Perhaps I can set dependency on
VHOST which by itself depends on VHOST_IOTLB?

v1 used select, but Saeed requested use of depends instead because
select can cause problems.

Saeed what kind of problems? It's used with select in other places,
isn't it?

IMHO, "depends" is much more explicit than "select".

This is now how VHOST_IOTLB has been designed though.
If you want to change VHOST_IOTLB to depends I think
we should do it consistently all over.


config VHOST_IOTLB
        tristate
        help
          Generic IOTLB implementation for vhost and vringh.
          This option is selected by any driver which needs to support
          an IOMMU in software.

Well grep VHOST_IOTLB and you will see some examples.

VHOST is processing virtio in the kernel. You don't really need that
for mlx, do you?

Yes, since there's no prompt for VHOST_IOTLB which means, if there's no 
other symbol that select VHOST_IOTLB, you can't enable MLX5 at all.

See kconfig-language.rst:


     In general use select only for non-visible symbols
     (no prompts anywhere) and for symbols with no dependencies.
     That will limit the usefulness but on the other hand avoid
     the illegal configurations all over.

Thanks

drivers/vhost/Kconfig:11:       select VHOST_IOTLB
drivers/vhost/Kconfig:18:       select VHOST_IOTLB

What am I missing here?
