+Kevin, since this seems like something ideally we would see some

Looks like the in-tree affected defconfigs are:
olof@quad:~/work/arm-soc/arch/arm/configs (for-next) $ fgrep -L
CONFIG_DEBUG_FS $(fgrep -l CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS *)
aspeed_g4_defconfig
aspeed_g5_defconfig
exynos_defconfig
imx_v6_v7_defconfig
milbeaut_m10v_defconfig
mvebu_v7_defconfig
mxs_defconfig
oxnas_v6_defconfig
shmobile_defconfig
tegra_defconfig
olof@quad:~/work/arm-soc/arch/arm/configs (for-next) $
I'll revisit with patches for those later today.
