Sorry, Dave, it took me a bit longer to come back to my second pass on
references to non-existing configs in the kernel tree...

I have just sent out a quick fix for this issue, now in your and other
x86 maintainers' mailbox:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/20211222125347.13054-1-lukas.bulwahn@gmail.com/

I am happy to get an ack for that patch.
