Merge branch 'arm/defconfig/reduced-v2.6.35-rc1' of git://git.pengutronix.de/git/ukl/linux-2.6

* 'arm/defconfig/reduced-v2.6.35-rc1' of git://git.pengutronix.de/git/ukl/linux-2.6:
  ARM: reduce defconfigs

This is a big change, but results in no loss of information, despite us
losing almost 200k lines:

 177 files changed, 652 insertions(+), 194157 deletions(-)

and Grant Likely thinks powerpc can also use the same reduction
technique.

The python script that did the reduction looks like this:

    #! /usr/bin/env python
    # vim: set fileencoding=utf-8 :
    # Copyright (C) 2010 by Uwe Kleine-König <u.kleine-koenig@pengutronix.de>

    import re
    import subprocess
    import os
    import sys

    # This prevents including a timestamp in the .config which makes comparing a
    # bit easier.
    os.environ['KCONFIG_NOTIMESTAMP'] = 'Yes, please'

    # XXX: get these using getopt
    kernel_tree = '' # os.path.join(os.environ['HOME'], 'gsrc', 'linux-2.6')
    arch = 'arm'
    target = sys.argv[1]
    defconfig_src = os.path.join(kernel_tree, 'arch/%s/configs/%s' % (arch, target))

    subprocess.check_call(['make', '-s', 'ARCH=%s' % arch, target])
    origconfig = list(open('.config'))
    config = list(origconfig)
    config_size = os.stat('.config').st_size

    i = 0

    while i < len(config):
        print 'test for %r' % config[i]
        defconfig = open(defconfig_src, 'w')
        defconfig.writelines(config[:i])
        defconfig.writelines(config[i + 1:])
        defconfig.close()
        subprocess.check_call(['make', '-s', 'ARCH=%s' % arch, target])
        if os.stat('.config').st_size == config_size and list(open('.config')) == origconfig:
            del config[i]
        else:
            i += 1

    defconfig = open(defconfig_src, 'w')
    defconfig.writelines(config)
    defconfig.close()

which is pretty self-explanatory.
