If it's not needed, it can go.  As Olof said, it doesn't appear to be
used anywhere in the code so I think it's fine.

One question I do have is if 405EX and 405EP need any of the 405GP
errata config options selected.  I would like to think those don't apply
because the hardware is fixed, but I haven't checked to be sure.
