This system call has been deprecated almost since it was introduced, and
in a survey of the linux distributions I can no longer find any of them
that enable CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL. The only indication that I can find
that anyone might care is that a few of the defconfigs in the kernel
enable CONFIG_SYSCTL_SYSCALL. However this appears in only 31 of 414
defconfigs in the kernel, so I suspect this symbols presence is simply
because it is harmless to include rather than because it is necessary.
As there appear to be no users of the sysctl system call, remove the
code. As this removes one of the few uses of the internal kernel mount
of proc I hope this allows for even more simplifications of the proc
filesystem.

This config option makes only couple of lines optional.
Two small helpers and an int in couple of cls structs.
Remove the config option and always compile this in.
This saves the user from unexpected surprises when he adds
a filter with ingress device match which is silently ignored
in case the config option is not set.

Remove the platform code used to power down the system, instead relying
upon the new PIIX4 poweroff driver. This reduces the amount of platform
code required for the Malta board in preparation for allowing it to be
part of a more generic kernel.

On systems that support MT ASE multithreading (ie. VPEs) we are very
likely to want to include that support as default. Rather than setting
it in various defconfigs, simply make CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMP default y such
that systems which select CONFIG_SYS_SUPPORTS_MULTITHREADING get it by
default.
As well as allowing us to remove the selection of CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMP
from various defconfigs, this also allows the generated generic
defconfigs which derive from generic_defconfig to automatically gain
support for MT ASE SMP when building for a suitable (pre-MIPSr6) ISA.
For malta_kvm_guest_defconfig CONFIG_MIPS_MT_SMP is explicitly disabled
since enabling SMP implicitly disables CONFIG_KVM_GUEST, which depends
on CONFIG_BROKEN_ON_SMP.

The CONFIG_MIPS_CPS SMP implementation should be able to handle all
cases the CONFIG_MIPS_CMP implementation does, but without requiring
bootloader assistance. It is also required in order to make use of
features such as hotplug & cpuidle core power gating. Enable it by
default for Malta configs that previously enabled the now deprecated
CONFIG_MIPS_CMP, and disable the latter. The local version suffix "cmp"
is removed rather than replaced with "cps" since there are other ways to
tell that the CPS SMP implementation is in use (the "VPE topology" line
in the boot log being one).

The previous NR_CPUS=2 default is not an optimal default for current
Malta setups where it is common to have more than 2 CPUs available. It
makes sense to increase this to a number which covers all common setups
currently in use, such that all of those cores are usable. 8 seems to
fit that description.
If the user has less than 8 CPUs & they wish to have a more optimal
kernel they can simply reduce this in their config. It makes sense for
the default to work on as many systems as possible.

For Malta defconfigs which may run on an SMP configuration without
hardware cache anti-aliasing, a 16KB page size is a safer default.
Most notably at the moment it will avoid cache aliasing issues for
multicore proAptiv systems.

This patch simply regenerates the malta defconfigs such that they don't
change after being used & saved as a defconfig again. ie. it is the
result of running the following:
for cfg in arch/mips/configs/malta*; do
ARCH=mips make `basename ${cfg}`
ARCH=mips make savedefconfig
mv -v defconfig ${cfg}
done
