v2:
Compare to v1 [1], the main differences are:
 - Still automatically select RELOCATABLE when CRASH_DUMP is enabled.
 - Add a new patch to kill RELOCATABLE_PPC32.

v1:
The first patch fixes a build error when CRASH_DUMP=y && ADVANCED_OPTIONS=n
for ppc32. The second does some cleanup for RELOCATABLE option.

[PATCH v2 1/3] powerpc32: booke: fix the build error when CRASH_DUMP is enabled

[Kevin Hao]

In the current code, the RELOCATABLE will be forcedly enabled when
enabling CRASH_DUMP. But for ppc32, the RELOCABLE also depend on
ADVANCED_OPTIONS and select NONSTATIC_KERNEL. This will cause the
following build error when CRASH_DUMP=y && ADVANCED_OPTIONS=n
because the select of NONSTATIC_KERNEL doesn't take effect.
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/io.h: In function 'virt_to_phys':
  arch/powerpc/include/asm/page.h:113:26: error: 'virt_phys_offset' undeclared (first use in this function)
   #define VIRT_PHYS_OFFSET virt_phys_offset
                          ^
It doesn't have any strong reasons to make the RELOCATABLE depend on
ADVANCED_OPTIONS. So remove this dependency to fix this issue.

[PATCH v2 2/3] powerpc: merge the RELOCATABLE config entries for ppc32 and ppc64

[Kevin Hao]

It makes no sense to keep two separate RELOCATABLE config entries for
ppc32 and ppc64 respectively. Merge them into one and move it to
a common place.

[PATCH v2 3/3] powerpc32: kill RELOCATABLE_PPC32

[Kevin Hao]

It is seldom used in the kernel code and can be easily replaced by
either RELOCATABLE or PPC32. So there is no reason to keep a separate
kernel option for this.
