The Edera host kernel configuration for aarch64 attempts to enable KVM support using `CONFIG_KVM=m`. This is a valid setting on x86, but on aarch64, KVM cannot be built as a module, and the feature ends up being unusable in the resulting kernel build. Fix the setting by enabling it unconditionally. Also, remove some x86- specific settings, and explicitly enable memfd support (required by Cloud Hypervisor). Signed-off-by: Simon Veith <simon@edera.dev>
