  Cc: Gautam Menghani, linuxppc-dev, linux-kernel

Kernel has multiple config options to run extra validation checks that
can help catch bugs. Define new configs for major subsystems to
make it easy to enable the debug config options for a given area.

v1 -> v2:
1. Split the enablement of configs into pseries and powernv configs.
