Currently there's no way to enable early boot console on PowerPC 44x
not specifying uart's physical address in kernel config, which is used
for very early debug messages. This patch splits very early debug output
(which needs uart physical address in kernel config) and early boot console
(which searches for uarts in the device tree using find_legacy_serial_ports).
We enable early boot console for all 44x processors, while (dangerous)
early debug is user-selectable.

Instead of having in the makefile all the option that
requires rheap, we define a configuration symbol
and when needed we make sure it's selected.

Since the PPE on cell is an in-order core, it suffers significantly
from wrong instruction scheduling. This adds a Kconfig option that
enables passing -mtune=cell to gcc in order to generate object
code that runs well on cell.

This allows booting on legacy, non-device-tree aware versions of U-boot.

Remove some leftover cruft in the 40x Kconfig file. Also make sure we
select WANT_DEVICE_TREE for 40x.

The cores used in the MPC82xx/83xx/86xx embedded controllers are very similar
to those in the 32 bit general-purpose processors, so it makes sense to
treat them as the same CPU family.
Choosing between the embedded platforms and the multiplatform code is
now done in the platform menu, but functionally everything stays the
same.

A lot of the options in arch/powerpc/Kconfig deal with the CPU menu,
and my next patches add more to them. Moving them to a new
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype file makes it easier to
follow.
There are no functional changes in here.
