For 64-bit book3s the default should be 64K as that's what modern CPUs
are designed for.

The following defconfigs already set CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES:

 cell_defconfig
 pasemi_defconfig
 powernv_defconfig
 ppc64_defconfig
 pseries_defconfig
 skiroot_defconfig

The have the option removed from the defconfig, as it is now the
default.

The defconfigs that now need to set CONFIG_PPC_4K_PAGES to maintain
their existing behaviour are:

 g5_defconfig
 maple_defconfig
 microwatt_defconfig
 ps3_defconfig

<title>arch: powerpc: Stop building and using oprofile</title>

The "oprofile" user-space tools don't use the kernel OPROFILE support
any more, and haven't in a long time. User-space has been converted to
the perf interfaces.

This commits stops building oprofile for powerpc and removes any
reference to it from directories in arch/powerpc/ apart from
arch/powerpc/oprofile, which will be removed in the next commit (this is
broken into two commits as the size of the commit became very big, ~5k
lines).

Note that the member "oprofile_cpu_type" in "struct cpu_spec" isn't
removed as it was also used by other parts of the code.

This kernel configuration is basically enabling/disabling sr driver quirks
detection. While these quirks are for fairly rare devices (very old CD
burners, and a glucometer), the additional detection of these models is a
very minimal amount of code.

The logic behind the quirks is always built into the sr driver.

This also removes the config from all the defconfig files that are enabling
this already.

latencytop adds almost 4kB to each and every task struct and as such
it doesn't deserve to be in our defconfigs.

Remove the CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH because:
1. It is disabled since commit 1be01d4a5714 ("driver: base: Disable
   CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER by default") as its dependency (UEVENT_HELPER) was
   made default to 'n',
2. It is not recommended (help message: "This should not be used today
   [...] creates a high system load") and was kept only for ancient
   userland,
3. Certain userland specifically requests it to be disabled (systemd
   README: "Legacy hotplug slows down the system and confuses udev").

<title>powerpc/configs: Don't enable PPC_EARLY_DEBUG in defconfigs</title>

<content type='text'>
This reverts the remains of commit b9ef7d6b11c1 ("powerpc: Update
default configurations").

That commit was proceeded by a commit which added a config option to
control use of BOOTX for early debug, ie. PPC_EARLY_DEBUG_BOOTX, and
then the update of the defconfigs was intended to not change behaviour
by then enabling the new config option.

However enabling PPC_EARLY_DEBUG had other consequences, notably
causing us to register the udbg console at the end of udbg_early_init().

This means on a system which doesn't have anything that BOOTX can
use (most systems), we register the udbg console very early but the
bootx code just throws everything away, meaning early boot messages
are never printed to the console.

What we want to happen is for the udbg console to only be registered
later (from setup_arch()) once we've setup udbg_putc, and then all
early boot messages will be replayed.

<title>powerpc/configs: Explicitly drop CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV</title>

<id>urn:sha1:f9065c83ccf4a6c1ff5419d216ad8276e99bee6c</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 73d8ef76006b ("Input: mousedev - stop offering PS/2 to userspace by
default") (Jan 2017), CONFIG_INPUT_MOUSEDEV was switched from default y to
default n, with the explanation:

  Evdev interface has been available for many years and by now everyone
  is switched to using it, so let's stop offering /dev/input/mouseN
  and /dev/psaux by default.

We had a number of configs which had it enabled, but going by the above
explanation probably don't need it enabled anymore.

So drop the last remnants of it from our defconfigs.
