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.

The meaning of CONFIG_EMBEDDED has long since been obsoleted; the option
is used to configure any non-standard kernel with a much larger scope than
only small devices.
This patch renames the option to CONFIG_EXPERT in init/Kconfig and fixes
references to the option throughout the kernel. A new CONFIG_EMBEDDED
option is added that automatically selects CONFIG_EXPERT when enabled and
can be used in the future to isolate options that should only be
considered for embedded systems (RISC architectures, SLOB, etc).
Calling the option "EXPERT" more accurately represents its intention: only
expert users who understand the impact of the configuration changes they
are making should enable it.
