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.

1. PCI and reset are factored out into pq2.c. I renamed them from m82xx
to pq2 because they won't work on the Integrated Host Processor line of
82xx chips (i.e. 8240, 8245, and such).
2. The PCI PIC, which is nominally board-specific, is used on multiple
boards, and thus is used into pq2ads-pci-pic.c.
3. The new CPM binding is used.
4. General cleanup.

Default config file for mpc8272ads (powerpc port).Though relevant bits went
in, it is required to keep proper default configuration for the target,
which seems to be missed initially.
