sparc64: Cleanups and corrections for arch/sparc64/Kconfig
Refer to chip as "SPARC" throughout. Say 32-bit SPARC and 64-bit SPARC rather than mentioning specific chips such like UltraSPARC, as appropriate. Remove non-sense help text referring to things that will never appear on a SPARC system, such as EISA busses etc. Use "help" instead of "--help--" Signed-off-by: David S. Miller <davem@davemloft.net>
