The previous NR_CPUS=2 default is not an optimal default for current
Malta setups where it is common to have more than 2 CPUs available. It
makes sense to increase this to a number which covers all common setups
currently in use, such that all of those cores are usable. 8 seems to
fit that description.
If the user has less than 8 CPUs & they wish to have a more optimal
kernel they can simply reduce this in their config. It makes sense for
the default to work on as many systems as possible.

Recent versions of udev and systemd require the kernel
to be compiled with CONFIG_DEVTMPFS in order to populate
the /dev directory. Most MIPS platforms have it enabled by
default, so enable it for Malta configs as well.

This patch simply regenerates the malta defconfigs such that they don't
change after being used & saved as a defconfig again. ie. it is the
result of running the following:
for cfg in arch/mips/configs/malta*; do
ARCH=mips make `basename ${cfg}`
ARCH=mips make savedefconfig
mv -v defconfig ${cfg}
done

- Add the KVM option to MIPS build files.
- Add default config files for KVM host/guest kernels.
- Change the link address for the Malta KVM Guest kernel to UM (0x40100000).
- Add KVM Kconfig file with KVM/MIPS specific options
