This debug option has no overhead other than a slight increase in
kernel size, and makes bug reports more useful. While some end users
may prefer to save the space, as a default on a kernel config aimed
primarily at development on reference boards, it should be enabled.

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.

a recent fc11 udev update on an 83xx board made root console login
disappear:
Updating : udev-141-8.fc11.ppc 32/83
udev: starting version 141
udev: deprecated sysfs layout; update the kernel or disable CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED;
some udev features will not work correctly
and sure enough, turning off SYSFS_DEPRECATED brings the login prompt back.

Now that all EEPROM drivers live in the same place, let's harmonize
their symbol names.
Also fix eeprom's dependencies, it definitely needs sysfs, and is no
longer experimental after many years in the kernel tree.

unset CONFIG_PCI_LEGACY in the defconfigs as none of them enable

Introduced a mpc86xx_defconfig that enables all 86xx boards and moved
all other 86xx related defconfigs under configs/86xx to match 83xx
and 85xx.
