I would do:
cd $KERNEL
make CC="$GCC/bin/gcc" defconfig
# Before Linux kernel v5.10:
make CC="$GCC/bin/gcc" kvmconfig
# After Linux kernel v5.10:
make CC="$GCC/bin/gcc" kvm_guest.configThis way there's less duplication, and it's clearer to which lines the comments relate.

Maybe we can do just kvm_guest.config? It's pretty old, I see it referenced at least in (so probably older):

Sorry, I can't check commit de4619937229378e81f95e99c9866acc8e207d34.
I think it works in most cases:
I would do:
cd $KERNEL make CC="$GCC/bin/gcc" defconfig # Before Linux kernel v5.10: make CC="$GCC/bin/gcc" kvmconfig # After Linux kernel v5.10: make CC="$GCC/bin/gcc" kvm_guest.configThis way there's less duplication, and it's clearer to which lines the comments relate.

You can git checkout v5.0 && make kvm_guest.config, git checkout v4.14 && make kvm_guest.config, etc to find the oldest release that supports it.
