Now we have high res timers there is less of a reason for a high HZ value.
Furthermore I think there a few reasons we should reduce HZ to 100:

- Timer interrupt overhead. While this overhead is small, there are
  applications that are very sensitive to jitter (eg some HPC apps).

- Issues with the timer wheel code. When coming out of NO_HZ idle we work our
  way through the timer code one tick at a time.  If we have been idle a long
  time, this adds up - I sometimes see milliseconds of time spent in that
  loop.

  Long term we should fix the timer wheel algorithm, but for now if we reduce
  HZ then we reduce the amount of work the timer code has to do when coming
  out of idle.

The overhead of HCALL_STATS is quite high and the functionality is very
rarely used.  Key statistics are also missing (eg min/max).

With the new hcall tracepoints much more powerful tracing can be done in
a kernel module.  Lets disable this by default.

When checking out the new NO_HZ support in powerpc, I noticed we never
slept for more than 2 seconds.  It turns out SLAB has a 2 second per cpu
timer that causes this.

After switching to SLUB I see some nice 4 second sleeps which is the
limit on this POWER6 box (the decrementer ticks at 512MHz):

slept 4.19 sec
slept 4.19 sec
slept 4.19 sec
slept 4.19 sec
slept 3.96 sec
slept 3.80 sec
slept 2.99 sec

Since SLUB is now the default and some powerpc defconfigs already enable
it, lets enable SLUB across the board for consistency.  While doing this
I also noticed that the maple defconfig has SLAB debugging enabled which
is sure to make your box nice and slow.  Fix that too.
