  ppc/4xx: Remove 4xx support from arch/ppc

  Remove support for PPC 403, 405, and 440 processors from arch/ 
ppc.  The
  arch/powerpc equivalents should be used.  Boards that are not  
ported yet
  will need to be ported to arch/powerpc to have continued support.

This looks like unneeded churn.

Excellent.  My prompting has succeeded.  Though now I won't get to be
on top of the "top contributors" list in the lwn.net pages like Kumar
was.  Oh well.

defconfig updates is the secret :)
