It's the openSUSE's -next config:
https://raw.githubusercontent.com/openSUSE/kernel-source/linux-next/config/x86_64/vanilla

But with CONFIG_IWLMEI=n (as that fails to link).

One has to load i915, other modules (71 on my system) are apparently fine.

i915 tries to patch your `page_table_check_disabled' which is defined as 
`DEFINE_STATIC_KEY_TRUE_RO':
