it should be a debugging option in the way that it's dependent on
KERNEL_DEBUG and KERNEL_EXPERIMENTAL.

i dont think you shold worry about this - i think 64-bit guest support
for specific hypervisors could be added even after the merge window, if
it's reasonably isolated (which i'd expect it to be). It clearly cannot
break anything else so it's the same category as new driver or new
hardware support - more relaxed integration rules. Then we can remove
the KERNEL_DEBUG and KERNEL_EXPERIMENTAL dependency as well.
