[PATCH 32/41] powerpc: Migrate CONFIG_PPC_SPINTABLE_COMPATIBLE to Kconfig

Move this symbol to Kconfig, and preserve the current behavior. The
help text here comes from where the relevant code is implemented and it
is quite likely at this point in time we could either disable this
option or at least make it configurable.

+	  To comply with ePAPR 1.1, the spin table has been moved to
+	  cache-enabled memory. Old OS may not work with this change. A patch
+	  is waiting to be accepted for Linux kernel. Other OS needs similar
+	  fix to spin table.  For OSes with old spin table code, we can enable
+	  this temporary fix by setting environmental variable
+	  "spin_table_compat". For new OSes, set "spin_table_compat=no". After
+	  Linux is fixed, we can remove this macro and related code. For now,
+	  it is enabled by default.
