Uwe Kleine-König reported:
while working on an defconfig (arm/mx27) I noticed that just updating
it[1] results in removing CONFIG_EEPROM_AT24=y. The reason is that
since commit
v2.6.36-5965-g5f2365d (misc devices: do not enable by default)
MISC_DEVICES isn't enabled anymore by default. So all defconfigs that
have CONFIG_SOME_SYMBOL=y (or =m) (with SOME_SYMBOL depending on
MISC_DEVICES) but not CONFIG_MISC_DEVICES=y suffer from the same
problem.
This restores those misc devices to the powerpc defconfigs.

Defining flash partition table in platform code is deprecated, and due to
recent changes linkstation and storcenter do not compile any more with
their default configurations because of undefined references to
physmap_set_partitions(). Instead of fixing them by using the correct
kernel configuration macro in preprocessor conditional, remove partition
table definitions altogether. Instead add support for partition definition
on the command-line and in device tree to the default configurations.

Now that all EEPROM drivers live in the same place, let's harmonize
their symbol names.
Also fix eeprom's dependencies, it definitely needs sysfs, and is no
longer experimental after many years in the kernel tree.

unset CONFIG_PCI_LEGACY in the defconfigs as none of them enable
ISDN drivers which seem to be the only place we are using pci_find_device

The current defconfig for Linkstation/Kuroboxes has the "Disable Heap
Randomization" option enabled.
Since some of these machines are facing the internet, it helps to have
heap randomization enabled. This patch enables it.

Since Linkstations and Kuroboxes often have *very* little memory (as
they are embedded systems), it is desirable to get their kernels
compiled optimized for size.

The i2c bus defn is broken on linkstation / kurobox machines since at
least 2.6.27. Fix it. Also remove CONFIG_SERIAL_OF_PLATFORM, which, if
enabled, breaks the serial console after the
"console handover: boot [udbg0] -> real [ttyS1]" message.

Since we are updated defconfigs I went ahead and moved the
asp8347_defconfig under 83xx/ and the mpc8536_ds_defconfig under
85xx/ as that is where they should have been to start with.

This updates all the defconfigs in arch/powerpc/configs except iseries
and ps3, which were updated by the preceding commits.
This mostly takes the defaults, except that I turned on tickless idle
and high-resolution timers for everything, and turned off instrumentation
support and "Fair group CPU scheduler" for the smaller/embedded platforms.

When checking out the new NO_HZ support in powerpc, I noticed we never
slept for more than 2 seconds. It turns out SLAB has a 2 second per cpu
timer that causes this.
After switching to SLUB I see some nice 4 second sleeps which is the
limit on this POWER6 box (the decrementer ticks at 512MHz):
slept 4.19 sec
slept 4.19 sec
slept 4.19 sec
slept 4.19 sec
slept 3.96 sec
slept 3.80 sec
slept 2.99 sec
Since SLUB is now the default and some powerpc defconfigs already enable
it, lets enable SLUB across the board for consistency. While doing this
I also noticed that the maple defconfig has SLAB debugging enabled which
is sure to make your box nice and slow. Fix that too.

Linkstation systems capable of running mainline kernels use u-boot as a
bootloader, so, specifying a suitable kernel command is not a problem.
Don't guess. Also extend linkstation_defconfig to support the linkstation HS
model with a IT8212 IDE controller and kuroboxHD/HD-HLAN linkstation
models with a tulip ethernet chip. The latter also require a slightly
different .dts file, which is also included with this patch.
