Initially I used randconfig. But you can easily create it using
"make menuconfig", too.

Just do "make mrproper && make menuconfig" and now
deselect CONFIG_PM. On x86_64 ACPI keeps enabled by default.

Now additionally activate an assorted choice of laptop misc devices,
like MSI_LAPTOP, THINKPAD_ACPI etc, and you get:

...
drivers/misc/sony-laptop.c:1458: undefined reference to `ec_read'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `acpi_ec_read':
drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c:247: undefined reference to `ec_read'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `acpi_ec_write':
drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c:260: undefined reference to `ec_write'
drivers/built-in.o: In function `led_write':
drivers/misc/thinkpad_acpi.c:2209: undefined reference to `ec_write'
...

drivers/acpi/blacklist.c:76:5: warning: "CONFIG_ACPI_BLACKLIST_YEAR" is not defi
ned
...

drivers/acpi/bus.c: In function 'acpi_bus_get_power':
drivers/acpi/bus.c:162: warning: implicit declaration of function 'acpi_power_get_inferred_state'
...


In short, it is possible for a user to create such a configuration.
The current kconfig for acpi and those misc devices does not prevent
it.

Attached is a configuration that I've just created with menuconfig and
not randconfig.
