[PATCH] move CONFIG_HOTPLUG to kernel/Kconfig.hotplug

[PATCH] move CONFIG_HOTPLUG to kernel/Kconfig.hotplug

[Bartlomiej Zolnierkiewicz]

I've also noticed that some archs (cris, h8300, m68k and sparc) don't
have HOTPLUG in their Kconfig files, shame on you - no udev for you 8).

BTW maybe HOTPLUG should be moved from "Bus options" to "General setup"?
