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.

This patch updates the defconfig for the MPC8349E-mITX. In addition to picking
up changes from recent kernels, disables support for e100 (which doesn't ship
with the system), turns off input devices, turns on some I2C support, turns
off HW monitoring (HW not yet supported), turns off OHCI USB (not used), turns
off USB gadget support (HW not yet supported), turns on DOS FS support, and
turns off kernel debugging.

Updated MATH_EMULATION depends to be on PPC_MPC832x instead of PPC_83xx. Only
the the MPC832x has no floating point unit in the core. Updated the other
83xx defconfigs that got math emulation turned on incorrectly.

The default configuration file for the MPC8349E-mITX reference board,
mpc834x_itx_defconfig, did not include support for DOS partition table types.
This support is necessary because the hard drive that comes with the ITX
is formatted with this partition table type. Without this config option,
no partitions on the drive can be mounted.
