With a stock 6.17-rc7 and this config:
https://hansen.beer/~dave/intel/config.xe.20250924
I'm seeing:
ld: vmlinux.o: in function `check_sw_disable':

against `.debug_loclists'
I'm compiling the 'xe' driver in to the kernel and I've got configfs compiled
in as a module, which is (I suspect) the reason this slipped through the cracks
until now.
In any case, I don't see any Kconfig dependencies for configfs in the xe code.
The attached patch at least hacks around the issue for me.
Is there a better way of fixing this?
