This updates all the defconfigs in arch/powerpc/configs except iseries
and ps3, which were updated by the preceding commits.
This mostly takes the defaults, except that I turned on tickless idle
and high-resolution timers for everything, and turned off instrumentation
support and "Fair group CPU scheduler" for the smaller/embedded platforms.

When checking out the new NO_HZ support in powerpc, I noticed we never
slept for more than 2 seconds. It turns out SLAB has a 2 second per cpu
timer that causes this.
After switching to SLUB I see some nice 4 second sleeps which is the
limit on this POWER6 box (the decrementer ticks at 512MHz):
slept 4.19 sec
slept 4.19 sec
slept 4.19 sec
slept 4.19 sec
slept 3.96 sec
slept 3.80 sec
slept 2.99 sec
Since SLUB is now the default and some powerpc defconfigs already enable
it, lets enable SLUB across the board for consistency. While doing this
I also noticed that the maple defconfig has SLAB debugging enabled which
is sure to make your box nice and slow. Fix that too.

The holly support currently has separate rules to wrap its device tree
with its zImage. This can now be done automatically without the extra
rules so update holly support to use the automatic feature.

Currently, the Holly device tree includes a bootargs property in
/chosen, which gives a commandline. This is somewhat inconvenient,
because it means an alternative default command line can't be given in
the kernel config - the value obtained from the dts via the
bootwrapper will always override CONFIG_CMDLINE.
This removes the command line from the dts, and instead puts the
same command line as a default in holly_defconfig.
