9ecda934f4 powerpc/configs: Make pseries_defconfig an alias for ppc64le_guest
Rather than trying to keep multiple configs up to date, make
pseries_defconfig an alias for ppc64le_guest_defconfig.

NOTE, pseries_defconfig was a big endian config, but this commit
switches it to little endian.

Almost all distros are ppc64le these days, so little endian is much more
likely to be what a user wants when they build for "pseries".

For an actual big endian guest, use ppc64_guest_defconfig.

Rather than trying to keep multiple configs up to date, make
pseries_le_defconfig an alias for ppc64le_guest_defconfig.

ppc64le_guest_defconfig should work in all cases that
pseries_le_defconfig currently does, but if not we can update it.

Move pseries_le_defconfig down in the Makefile, so it appears after
ppc64le_guest_defconfig in the help output.

9ab9de2f3a powerpc/corenet: Add PPC_QEMU_E500 to corenet configs
Add PPC_QEMU_E500 to corenet_base.config, which is then used to generate
corenet64_smp_defconfig and corenet32_smp_defconfig.

That then allows both those configs to build kernels that boot in qemu
using the ppce500 machine type and respectively -cpu e5500 or -cpu
e500mc.

The code that is added by PPC_QEMU_E500 just defines another machine
with a probe function that recognises qemu, so there should be no change
when booting on actual hardware supported by CORENET_GENERIC.

The increase in vmlinux size is less than 1KB.

859b21a008 powerpc: drop PowerQUICC II Family ADS platform support
Based on documentation revision dates, this MPC82xx pq2fads system
predates the MPC8272-ADS variant by about a year and only has 1/2
the amount of RAM (32MB) -- largely making it useless with a modern
v6.x kernel from today.

Similar to the MPC8272-ADS the pq2fads also supported other 82xx CPU
variants, had 8MB flash, and like the 8272 ADS platform, was on a fairly
large PCB in order to have space for breakout connectors for all features.

These 82xx platforms are two decades old, and originally made for a
small group of industry related people in order to assist in new OEM
board designs.  Given that, it makes sense to remove support today.

248667f8bb powerpc: drop HPCD/MPC8610 evaluation platform support
This evaluation platform was essentially a single core 8641 with
integrated graphics/display support - in an effort to reduce chip count
on kiosk and similar applications.

Compared to other evaluation platforms considered for removal in other
recent commits, this platform was relatively rare.  Unlike all the other
10+ platforms, I couldn't find any documentation on it - just a link to
downloading the 2007 era BSP in "LTIB" format as was done back then.

With all that in mind, it seems prudent to remove it here in 2023.

c1d85f3f75 powerpc: drop HPC-NET/MPC8641D evaluation platform support
There is no denying that this was an interesting platform in its day.
Access to a SMP powerpc platform became a bit more obtainable for folks
in the BSP industry in the 2007 era, thanks to this platform.

Add to that the move to the black Antec case vs. the generic white 2005
era case of the MPC8548CDS or the retro 1950s 1/2 height horizontal case
of the HPC II, and it was pretty interesting to people like myself then.

However, like all the other evaluation platforms, the overall system
was complex out of necessity, as it tried to showcase all possible
features and use-cases.  That included an AMP option, where you could run
two bootloaders and two kernels over two serial consoles.  Peripheral
sharing got a bit more tricky when you got to the hard disk and similar.

In any case we still have the same circumstance.  A relatively rare and
expensive evaluation platform that is now 15+ years old and not out there
in large numbers in the general public.  Removal in 2023 just makes sense.

f03425a5fd powerpc: drop HPC II (MPC7448) evaluation platform support.
This was an interesting platform - it was the 1st instance of a
respin of earlier 130nm 74xx CPUs on 90nm and systems using MPC7448
were positioned as a rack server platform solution.

Given that, the evaluation platform (at least the one I had) was shipped
in a horizontal 1/2 height Antec desktop case with retro styling and
colours, despite the fact the docs explicitly stated that the HPC II is
not a desktop machine (noting it had no gfx or legacy PC I/O support).

Historic trivia aside, this was the 1st introduction of the e600
procfam as an evolution from the earlier G4.

However even with the claim to being "1st e600" it seems the 2005+
era was turning its attention to multicore support and from my memory
this poor guy was quickly overshadowed by the dual core MPC8641D.

All that aside, we are once again looking at 15+ year old evaluation
platforms that were not widely distributed, so 2023 removal makes sense.

b8fa3af2db powerpc: drop MPC832x_MDS platform support
This final variant in the e300 family of Modular Development System
(MDS) in this series was actually aimed at feature reduction - things
like floating point and ethernet were removed in order to make for a
lower power and lower cost system.

Like all the MDS systems, it was meant as a vehicle to get the CPU out
early to hardware OEMs so software and board development could take place
in parallel.

These were made in limited numbers and availability preference was given
to partners who were planning to make their own boards.

Given that the whole reason for existence was to assist in enabling new
board designs [not happening for 10+ years], and that they weren't
generally available, and that the hardware wasn't really hobbyist friendly
even for retro computing, it makes sense to retire the support for this
particular platform.
