There are two steps to this. One it to create your new config variable
and set it to y. The second is to use it. In one or more of the
default configs (e.g. default-configs/arm-softmmu.mak) set a config
variable to y

e.g.

CONFIG_MY_DEV=y

If you are doing both ARM and PPC you need to add it to both ARM and
PPC defconfigs.

Then in hw/misc/Makefile.objs you add your new .o object, conditional
on this new switch.

obj-(CONFIG_MY_DEV) += my_dev.o

HTH
