localmodconfig - "intel_rapl_perf config not found!!"

[Nathan Royce]

Intel Haswell
Linux 5.8.3

First time I've used localmodconfig ever since reading what it does
and liking the "supposed" kernel customization specific to the system.
I only use quotes on "supposed" because I DO still see entries I have
no interest in (not applicable to my system/needs).
I don't know if another email would be warranted for localmodconfig
only or if my expectation of it is unrealistic.

The "intel_rapl_perf config not found!!" comes up with every .config I try.
The simplest test I can come up with would be:
*****
make defconfig //x86_64_defconfig
lsmod > lsmod.cfg
make localmodconfig LSMOD=lsmod.cfg
*****

lsmod.cfg

That alone is problematic in that localmodconfig is only going by
what's in the .config and not filling in the blanks, so I have to
"make menuconfig" and go through each "module <*> did not have configs
<CONFIG_*>" and manually set them.

But even after I take care of all the missing entries, the
"intel_rapl_perf" still comes up when running localmodconfig again.

I'm going to assume it has something to do with the naming and it's
supposed to be associated with "Intel/AMD rapl performance events
(CONFIG_PERF_EVENTS_INTEL_RAPL)" which I already have set to 'Y'.
Right below that, I also get 'Use of uninitialized value
$ENV{"LMC_KEEP"} in split at ./scripts/kconfig/streamline_config.pl
line 596.', but again that is the sort of thing that may warrant a new
email specific to localmodconfig author(s). But again maybe not
because I take it more as a warning given I don't make use of
LMC_KEEP.
