[PATCH 0/2] PCI: Convert hotplug core and pciehp to be builtin only

Yinghai is working on a regression fix ("PCI: Separate stop and remove
devices in pciehp") that needs to go into v3.11, and his fix will be
simpler if we remove the module option for pciehp in v3.11.  That will mean
he won't have to export pci_stop_bus_device() and pci_remove_bus_device()
for use by modules.

So these two patches convert CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI and CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE
to be bool (not tristate) and update defconfig files that had
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=m.

The motivation was for CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE, but I also converted
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI to bool because the CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI=m and
CONFIG_HOTPLUG_PCI_PCIE=y combination was accepted by Kconfig and builds a
kernel, but pciehp doesn't actually work in that case (pointed out by
Yinghai, thanks!)

These are intended for v3.11.
