[patch 02/10] powerpc: Move CONFIG_PPC64 into CPU selection

From: arnd@arndb.de
Date: 2007-06-11 23:36:26

Currently, PPC64 is a top level configuration option in
arch/powerpc/Kconfig, which is somewhat unconventional.

Moving it into the CPU selection menu is a natural choice,
and is transparent to the rest of the configuration logic.
