[PATCH/RFC] Change how we pick which _kd_mksound to use.

[Tom Rini]

The following changes how we pick a _kd_mksound.  The problem is that on
some machines, such as IBM405, the default _kd_mksound breaks horribly
due to the inb/outb's attempting to fiddle with timers which don't
exist.  This changes the test which selects either an empty _kd_mksound
or the one in question from __powerpc__ to CONFIG_PPC64 (since from what I
understand, __powerpc__ is defined on ppc64) || (CONFIG_PPC32 &&
CONFIG_6xx).  The CONFIG_6xx test is because these boards are the ones
which tend to have a SuperIO chip, or something else with the timers at
0x61, 0xB6, etc.

The other option would be to define an empty no_kd_mksound or so on
4xx/8xx and then conditionally set kd_mksound to that, but I would
prefer this since we're already doing some preprocessor checks anyhow.
