Ah okay, I interpreted the policy as "it's possible to build a single
kernel image but it would be possible to build an image for a subset of
the features as well".
In that case you could have one config that can work either with or
without VHE (and supports y/n) and one config that can only work with
VHE (and supports y/m/n). The code to enter VHE EL2 would of course
always be builtin.

It's not even a configuration that matches kconfig very well, since it
does have a way to build something *only as a module*, but not a way to
build something only as built-in.
That said, if you had the possibility to unload/reload KVM, you'll
quickly become unable to live without it. :)
