There was also this report about linux-next, also with CONFIG_PSI=n:

https://lore.kernel.org/all/EF33D230-9A8F-41C5-A38D-95128603224F@linux.ibm.com/

but I just tried to build with the .config file supplied there and didn't
have any build errors...

If it was just me & mmotm, I could see it being a problem with applying
patches, but this other report looks the same as my initial report.

I dunno. If it persists, we will track it down and quash it.
