It's pretty useless sending a mangled config.  In future, please send the
whole thing.  

The problem is that you have 

> CONFIG_CPU_FREQ_TABLE=m
> CONFIG_X86_ACPI_CPUFREQ=y

but acpi-cpufreq needs the stuff in freq_table.c.

This happens again and again and again and again.  I wish people would just
stop using `select'.  It.  Doesn't.  Work.

Either we fix select or we stop using the damn thing.
