In 3.7, 8250 was unintentionally renamed to 8250_core. This happened in
the commit 835d844d1a (8250_pnp: do pnp probe before legacy probe).
This made 8250.<xxxx> module options effectively defunct. Instead,
8250_core.<xxxx> worked.
In 3.9, the commit f2b8dfd9e4 (serial: 8250: Keep 8250.<xxxx> module
options functional after driver rename) made the original options work
again by introducing a hack.
Later in 3.9, the commit 9196d8acd7 (TTY: 8250, revert module name
change) changed the module name back to 8250 (from 8250_core). Since
then, the hack was there to support the transient 8250_core.<xxxx>
options. Those were present only in the 3.7..3.9 range.
These transient options were deprecated by 9326b047e4 (TTY: 8250,
deprecated 8250_core.* options) in v3.9 too.
Now, after those 12 years, it is time to get rid of this hack
completely.

It's very unusual to have both a command line option and a compile time
option, and apparently that's confusing to people. Also, basically
everybody enables the compile time option now, which means people who
want to disable this wind up having to use the command line option to
ensure that anyway. So just reduce the number of moving pieces and nix
the compile time option in favor of the more versatile command line
option.

For 64-bit book3s the default should be 64K as that's what modern CPUs
are designed for.
The following defconfigs already set CONFIG_PPC_64K_PAGES:
cell_defconfig
pasemi_defconfig
powernv_defconfig
ppc64_defconfig
pseries_defconfig
skiroot_defconfig
The have the option removed from the defconfig, as it is now the
default.
The defconfigs that now need to set CONFIG_PPC_4K_PAGES to maintain
their existing behaviour are:
g5_defconfig
maple_defconfig
microwatt_defconfig
ps3_defconfig
