I think that's OK.  CONFIG_INTEL_GTT was added after v3.13
(00fe639a56b4 "drm/i915: Make AGP support optional").  It looks like
in v3.13, intel-gtt.o was built if CONFIG_AGP_INTEL=y (or =m), which
you probably do have (see drivers/char/agp/Makefile).

You should be able to "make bzImage" and get just the kernel.  But
there might be module loading issues if the modules don't exactly
match the kernel.  I think it's possible to turn that checking off,
but I don't do it often enough to remember details.
