Re: [PATCH] powerpc: Sort the selects under CONFIG_PPC

Hi Michael,

We have a big list of selects under CONFIG_PPC, and currently they're
completely unsorted. This means people tend to add new selects at the
bottom of the list, and so two commits which both add a new select will
often conflict.

Instead sort it alphabetically. This is nicer in and of itself, but also
means two commits that add a new select will have a greater chance of
not conflicting.

Add a note at the top and bottom asking people to keep it sorted.

And while we're here pad out the 'if' expressions to make them stand
out.

Looks good.

+	select ARCH_USE_CMPXCHG_LOCKREF		if PPC64

Why not just move these "if PPC64" selects to "config PPC64" in
arch/powerpc/platforms/Kconfig.cputype?  Secondary question: why not
move "config PPC64" to this file?

+	select GENERIC_ATOMIC64			if PPC32

Similarly ...
