depends and defaults are different beasts though, if VFIO is not
enabled and we're not on a powerpc system with SPAPR,
VFIO_IOMMU_SPAPR_TCE should not be selectable, not just default to 'n'.

Perhaps I'm one of those people.  Non-powerpc archs should not have an
option to select this, which is why the depends is there, AIUI.  So
long as we don't start exposing options that aren't relevant to a
platform, I'm flexible on what shorthands we use, but you may need to
teach me about them first.  Thanks,
