Using Kconfig symbols for some of them seems more appropriate to me,
i.e., moving the symbol definitions from "random" header files to
Kconfig files.  After all, these are just hidden config settings,
so use the Kconfig system and namespace for them.

This series of 9 patches converts:

__ARCH_HAS_DO_SOFTIRQ --> CONFIG_ARCH_DO_SOFTIRQ
ARCH_HAS_NMI_WATCHDOG --> CONFIG_ARCH_NMI_WATCHDOG.
ARCH_HAS_READ_CURRENT_TIMER --> CONFIG_ARCH_READ_CURRENT_TIMER.
ARCH_HAS_SCHED_WAKE_IDLE --> CONFIG_SCHED_SMT.
ARCH_HAS_SOCKET_TYPES --> CONFIG_ARCH_SOCKET_TYPES.
ARCH_HAS_VALID_PHYS_ADDR_RANGE --> CONFIG_ARCH_VALID_PHYS_ADDR_RANGE.
__ARCH_HAS_NO_PAGE_ZERO_MAPPED --> CONFIG_NO_PAGE_ZERO_MAPPED.
ARCH_HAS_POWER_INIT --> CONFIG_ACPI_POWER_INIT.
