[PATCH] powerpc: disable SPARSE_IRQ by default

[PATCH] powerpc: disable SPARSE_IRQ by default

[Li Yang]

The SPARSE_IRQ considerably adds overhead to critical path of IRQ
handling.  However it doesn't benefit much in space for most systems with
limited IRQ_NR.  Should be disabled unless really necessary.
