Hi Joseph,
Thanks so much for the information. Much appreciated!!
Actually, I probably won't have a chance to install Zesty until after
the official release. And without installing it, I wasn't sure how to
check what kernel options were enabled. (I guess there's a way, but I
don't know how.)
But if those kernel options are enabled as you reported, then that's all
I can ask. So, I think that for now, it's best to mark the bug as
solved. Of course, once Zesty is released, and I've installed it, I'll
check and will reopen if those options are no longer enabled.
Thanks again for checking this for me!

Title:
[Feature Request] Compile kernel 4.10 with KVMGT support
Status in linux package in Ubuntu:
Fix Released
Status in linux source package in Zesty:
Fix Released
Bug description:
I haven't yet tested the version of kernel 4.10 that is being supplied
with Zesty, so what I am requesting may already be present. But if not
already present, please consider the following:
Please enable CONFIG_DRM_I915_GVT and CONFIG_DRM_I915_GVT_KVMGT in
".config", which depends on CONFIG_VFIO_MDEV and
CONFIG_VFIO_MDEV_DEVICE.
Enabling the above should allow using Intel's KVMGT (iGVT-g for KVM)
without need for compiling a custom kernel.
More information regarding Intel's KVMGT (iGVT-g for KVM) can be found here:
