FYI, the kbuild bot just reported a randconfig build issue with this.
THERMAL_DEFAULT_GOV_POWER_ALLOCATOR 'select' THERMAL_GOV_POWER_ALLOCATOR
unconditionally. And I just learned 'select' will force the option ON
and totally ignore its dependencies. That is, we can end up with IPA
force-compiled in, and no PM_EM, which is broken.

So I guess the simplest fix is to do 'select ENERGY_MODEL' in this
patch, instead of depending on it.

I'll send a v7 with this fixed shortly.

Thanks,
Quentin
