This is the pseries_defconfig with CONFIG_CPU_LITTLE_ENDIAN enabled
and CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION disabled (required until we fix some
endian issues in KVM).

The CONFIG_VIRTUALIZATION disabling should be done in the Kconfig not
here. 

I'm not that keen on another defconfig.  benh is already talking about
having a powernv defconfig.  I'm worried we are going to fragment the
defconfigs.  If you want something special like LE, then change the
default one.  

I disagree. defconfigs are great because they're easy to add to kisskb
or other auto builders, making automated build testing easier.

In fact because the defconfigs are pretty much the only thing that
people build test, if you stray too far from them you are almost
guaranteed to find breakage. For example the UP build was broken for
months because we didn't have a defconfig for it.
