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.

CONFIG_SYSFS_DEPRECATED can cause issues with newer distros and should not
be required for any distro in the last 3 or 4 years, so disable it.

Update the defconfig files for 4xx boards. This also makes the mutli-board
defconfigs a bit more useful by enabling some of the more common modules.

Board specific defconfigs are useful, however with the ability to do
multi-board defconfigs they aren't needed in the top level configs directory.
Move the 4xx board specific defconfigs to individual directories under
arch/powerpc/configs.
