The symbolic dependency by driver mlx5e, automatically triggers loading of
pci_hyperv_interface module. And this module can be loaded in any platforms.

Currently, mlx5e driver has #if IS_ENABLED(CONFIG_PCI_HYPERV_INTERFACE)
around the code using the interface.

I agree --
Adding "select PCI_HYPERV_INTERFACE" for mlx5e will clean up these #if's.

Thanks,
