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':
.../linux.runme/drivers/gpu/drm/xe/xe_hw_engine.c:812: undefined reference to `xe_configfs_get_engines_allowed'

vmlinux.o:(.debug_info+0x3176eb6): relocation truncated to fit: R_X86_64_32 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?
