That could also explain. Since not long time ago, it was only “default y if DEBUG_VM”, that caused the robot saved a .config with DEBUG_VM_PGTABLE=y by default.

Even though you changed the rule recently, it has no effect as the robot could “make oldconfig” from the saved config for each linux-next tree execution and the breakage will go on.
