The 'choice' statement is primarily used to exclusively select one
option, but the 'optional' property allows all entries to be disabled.
This feature is rarely used. In fact, it is only used in arch/sh/Kconfig
because the equivalent outcome can be achieved by inserting one more
entry.
The 'optional' property support will be removed from Kconfig.
This commit replaces the 'optional' property with a dummy option,
CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER, as seen in some other architectures.
Note:
The 'default CMDLINE_OVERWRITE' statement does not work as intended
in combination with 'optional'. If neither CONFIG_CMDLINE_OVERWRITE
nor CONFIG_CMDLINE_EXTEND is specified in a defconfig file, both of
them are disabled. This is a bug. To maintain the current behavior,
I added CONFIG_CMDLINE_FROM_BOOTLOADER=y to those defconfig files.

As discussed at LSF/MM [1] [2] and with no objections raised there,
deprecate the SLAB allocator. Rename the user-visible option so that
users with CONFIG_SLAB=y get a new prompt with explanation during make
oldconfig, while make olddefconfig will just switch to SLUB.
In all defconfigs with CONFIG_SLAB=y remove the line so those also
switch to SLUB. Regressions due to the switch should be reported to
linux-mm and slab maintainers.

sh: configs: Remove useless UEVENT_HELPER_PATH
Fix allyesconfig output.
Remove the CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER_PATH because:
1. It is disabled since commit 1be01d4a57 ("driver: base: Disable
CONFIG_UEVENT_HELPER by default") as its dependency (UEVENT_HELPER) was
made default to 'n',
2. It is not recommended (help message: "This should not be used today
[...] creates a high system load") and was kept only for ancient
userland,
3. Certain userland specifically requests it to be disabled (systemd
README: "Legacy hotplug slows down the system and confuses udev").

As the help for the config option suggests, this option really shouldn't
be set by default for any recent distribution as it changes the layout
of sysfs. I spotted this while running debian when udev got very
confused by the sysfs layout and failed to create some device nodes.

Most of the reasons for keeping these separate before was due to hp690
discontig, and since we have a workaround for that now (abusing some shadow
space so everything is magically contiguous), there's no reason to keep the
targets separate.
