Subject: [PATCH 0/5] Remove qcom SoC configs

We want to remove the ARCH_MSM* configs in mach-qcom/Kconfig
because they are proxy configs for selecting the right
clocksource driver and adjusting the text offset and there is no
difference between ARCH_MSM8X60 and ARCH_MSM8960 anymore.
Furthermore, there aren't configs for all the SoCs supported by
the mainline kernel, leading to confusion about which SoCs are
supported. This patch series removes them, leading to less confusion
with the minor downside of always forcing a text offset shift and
the selection of the qcom specific clocksource driver. The size
increase from the clocksource driver is already taken in
the qcom_defconfig, so most likely nobody will care.
