AFAICT, CONFIG_HVM will already select CONFIG_IOREQ_SERVER. So are the
two lines necessary?
I agree they may not be necessary, but as long as they don't
cause any harm I thought maybe they serve a documentation
purpose.
1. Agree that it should be "If unsure, say N."

Faod this could be taken care of while committing.

2. Agree that two lines are not strictly needed (just rechecked).
3. Agree that two lines indicates the *real* state:
- Although we managed to remove almost all (all?) HVM-ism in IOREQ
common code, this feature depends on HVM anyway
- And it is should enabled by default on X86, and disabled on Arm

So what we should do with them (keep or remove)?

I'd be fine either way, with just a slight preference to keeping.
Julien?

I find a bit strange, but I am happy to keep it.
