No.  "Sandpoint" is a platform, not a processor.  You select the processor from
inside "Platform support"/"Processor Type".  Since the 8240 is essentially a 603
core with a 107 bridge, select "6xx/7xx/74xx/8260" for your processory type.

You probably want to make a new "Machine Type" for your board/platform and select
it.  Look in arch/ppc/platforms and arch/ppc/config.in for lots of examples.
