[PATCH] ARM: default to multi_v7_defconfig

[PATCH] ARM: default to multi_v7_defconfig

[Arnd Bergmann]

versatile_defconfig has not been a reasonable default for a very long
time, there is very little work happening on this platform and it's
based on an old ARM926 CPU core.

This changes the default to multi_v7_defconfig, which is much more
relevant to anyone doing a build test on ARM, as it covers a wide
range of platforms.

I've applied this patch to the next/defconfig branch of arm-soc now,
as it seems to fit in with the defconfig changes better than in Russell's
tree.

Thanks,
