..and this file is even in the same Makefile line of the prev. one:

arch/x86/kernel/cpu/Makefile:

  obj-$(CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL)             += perf_event_intel_pt.o perf_event_intel_bts.o

and in arch/x86/Kconfig.cpu:

  config CPU_SUP_INTEL
        default y
        bool "Support Intel processors" if PROCESSOR_SELECT

...so again, unless I'm missing something obvious (entirely possible
for a Monday) this too seems always built in to me.
