I think that dependency should go, in any case. We already have
PPC_BOOK3E_64 for places that need to depend on that, and we don't want
to end up having this all over the place:
#if defined(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E_32) || defined(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E_64)

If we drop the 64-bit dependency, we could do this for UCLE if it really
needs to be omitted from a 4xx kernel:
#if defined(CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E) || defined(CONFIG_E500)
PMM is not just a BookE thing, so if 4xx really needs to exclude it,
#ifndef CONFIG_4xx is the way to go.
I wouldn't bother unless 4xx is known to set these bits, though.
For GS and CM CONFIG_PPC_BOOK3E is OK, once 32-bit e500mc/e5500 kernels
start selecting it.
