I guess this. Running randconfigs on it for a while, to see what else
breaks.

Fix this link error:
ERROR: modpost: "rcu_idle_enter" [drivers/acpi/processor.ko] undefined!
ERROR: modpost: "rcu_idle_exit" [drivers/acpi/processor.ko] undefined!
when CONFIG_ACPI_PROCESSOR is built as module. PeterZ says that in light
of ARM needing those soon too, they should simply be exported.
Fixes: 1fecfdbb7acc ("ACPI: processor: Take over RCU-idle for C3-BM idle")
