FWIW, if you're in search of funky Kconfigs for compiling x86, I've got
a big bundle of them. In addition, I suggest grepping through any
Kconfig options you add and then toggling *those* options specifically.

The three that come to mind that tend to find bugs the fastest are a
defconfig, plus removing (one at a time):

CONFIG_CPU_SUP_INTEL
CONFIG_SMP
CONFIG_NUMA

In your case, I'd make sure you also flip SECURITY and X86_X2APIC, because:
