We are now on -rc3 and someone should correct this, finally

This is a regression, it was not before, on 3.6

This messes up any compilation of the whole kernel, it results in don't be produced vmlinuz

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/perf_event_p6.o depends on so much things that I don't get it switched off, I suppose it's necesary for the most systems

=================
The problem continues with 3.8-rc

This is grave, no vmlinuz is produced.

================================================
There ocurs a compiling error in perf-event-p6.o , any regression, unfortunately I lost the compiling list but I think it was any incompatibility / redefinition with something else, pls check and correct that, if not already done
