I simply used linux-next. The defconfig does NOT contain CONFIG_VHOST and
therefore CONFIG_VHOST_NET and friends
can not be selected.

$ git checkout next-20200401
$ make defconfig
  HOSTCC  scripts/basic/fixdep
  HOSTCC  scripts/kconfig/conf.o

This was x86. Not sure if that did work before.
On s390 this is definitely a regression as the defconfig files 
for s390 do select VHOST_NET

grep VHOST arch/s390/configs/*
arch/s390/configs/debug_defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_NET=m
arch/s390/configs/debug_defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_VSOCK=m
arch/s390/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_NET=m
arch/s390/configs/defconfig:CONFIG_VHOST_VSOCK=m

and this worked with 5.6, but does not work with next. Just adding
CONFIG_VHOST=m to the defconfig solves the issue, something like

And a bunch of other places I guess... and I guess we need to
select VHOST_RING too?
Also Jason, I just noticed that you added:

config VHOST_RING
        tristate
+        select VHOST_IOTLB
        help
          This option is selected by any driver which needs to access
          the host side of a virtio ring.

but are you sure this will do the right thing if VHOST_RING itself
selected?

Right, I think we probably need

1) add CONFIG_VHOST=m to all defconfigs that enables 
CONFIG_VHOST_NET/VSOCK/SCSI.

or

2) don't use menuconfig for CONFIG_VHOST, let NET/SCSI/VDPA just select it.

Thanks
