Currently it's impossible to build a ps3_defconfig which will reboot
without modules installed. This makes it all too easy to find yourself
with a PS3 that won't reboot.
This is because the system manager driver, which provides the reboot
mechanism, is only selectable if PS3_ADVANCED is set, else it defaults
to m. In ps3_defconfig PS3_ADVANCED is not set, therefore the system
manager is built as a module.
It would be desirable IMHO for the defconfig to produce a kernel that
boots and reboots, without needing modules to be installed.

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.

Adds support for the PS3 virtual UART (vuart). The vuart provides a
bi-directional byte stream data link between logical partitions.
This is needed for the ps3 graphics driver and the ps3 power
control support to be able to communicate with the lv1 policy
module.
