PATCH 1/1 ARM: default to multi_v7_defconfig

versatile_defconfig has not been a reasonable default for a very long time, there is very little work happening on this platform and it's based on an old ARM926 CPU core.

This changes the default to multi_v7_defconfig, which is much more relevant to anyone doing a build test on ARM, as it covers a wide range of platforms.

I've applied this patch to the next/defconfig branch of arm-soc now, as it seems to fit in with the defconfig changes better than in Russell's tree.

Thanks,

Arnd
