The STRICT_MM_TYPECHECKS code has bit-rotted over the years. To make it
possible to easily build test it, make it a CONFIG option.

The celleb code has seen no actual development for ~7 years.

We (maintainers) have no access to test hardware, and it is highly
likely the code has bit-rotted.

As far as we're aware the hardware was never widely available, and is
certainly no longer available, and no one on the list has shown any
interest in it over the years.

So remove it. If anyone has one and cares please speak up.

We have set CONFIG_PPC_OF to always 'y' in commit 0a498d96a332
("powerpc: set CONFIG_PPC_OF=y always for ARCH=powerpc") nine years
ago. And the arch/ppc also has gone away for many years. The OF
functionality was also moved to a common place and be used by many
archs. So it does make no sense to keep such a option in the current
kernel. Just kill it.

The 440 target hasn't been properly functioning for a few releases and
before I was the only one who fixes a very serious bug that indicates to
me that nobody used it before either.

Furthermore KVM on 440 is slow to the extent of unusable.

We don't have to carry along completely unused code. Remove 440 and give
us one less thing to worry about.

<title>powerpc/powernv: Remove OPAL v1 takeover</title>

<id>urn:sha1:e2500be2b801f4e95d6a1efbc50af3bf14eeb940</id>
<content type='text'>
In commit 27f4488872d9 "Add OPAL takeover from PowerVM" we added support
for "takeover" on OPAL v1 machines.

This was a mode of operation where we would boot under pHyp, and query
for the presence of OPAL. If detected we would then do a special
sequence to take over the machine, and the kernel would end up running
in hypervisor mode.

OPAL v1 was never a supported product, and was never shipped outside
IBM. As far as we know no one is still using it.

Newer versions of OPAL do not use the takeover mechanism. Although the
query for OPAL should be harmless on machines with newer OPAL, we have
seen a machine where it causes a crash in Open Firmware.

The code in early_init_devtree() to copy boot_command_line into cmd_line
was added in commit 817c21ad9a1f "Get kernel command line accross OPAL
takeover", and AFAIK is only used by takeover, so should also be
removed.

__attribute__ ((unused))

WSP is the last user of CONFIG_PPC_A2, so we remove that as well.

Although CONFIG_PPC_ICSWX still exists, it's no longer selectable for
any Book3E platform, so we can remove the code in mmu-book3e.h that
depended on it.

Merge Kconfig menu diet patches from Dave Hansen:
 "I think the "Kernel Hacking" menu has gotten a bit out of hand.  It is
  over 120 lines long on my system with everything enabled and options
  are scattered around it haphazardly.

        http://sr71.net/~dave/linux/kconfig-horror.png

  Let's try to introduce some sanity.  This set takes that 120 lines
  down to 55 and makes it vastly easier to find some things.  It's a
  start.

  This set stands on its own, but there is plenty of room for follow-up
  patches.  The arch-specific debug options still end up getting stuck
  in the top-level "kernel hacking" menu.  OPTIMIZE_INLINING, for
  instance, could obviously go in to the "compiler options" menu, but
  the fact that it is defined in arch/ in a separate Kconfig file keeps
  it on its own for the moment.

  The Signed-off-by's in here look funky.  I changed employers while
  working on this set, so I have signoffs from both email addresses"

* emailed patches from Dave Hansen &lt;dave@sr71.net&gt;:
  hang and lockup detection menu

Original posting:

	http://lkml.kernel.org/r/20121214184202.F54094D9@kernel.stglabs.ibm.com

Several architectures have similar stack debugging config options.
They all pretty much do the same thing, some with slightly
differing help text.

This patch changes the architectures to instead enable a Kconfig
boolean, and then use that boolean in the generic Kconfig.debug
to present the actual menu option.  This removes a bunch of
duplication and adds consistency across arches.
