lp8x4x seems to be the first pxa board which requires DT.

We can create pxa27x-dt_defconfig which selects:
1. PXA27X_DT
2. PXA_FB and 8250_PXA to enable console
3. MMC, MMC_PXA and EXT4_FS to enable boot from MMC
4. all optional pxa stuff as modules
5. all stuff on supported pxa boards as modules

If #5 is extended when support for new boards is added, it should be
possible to run any supported pxa27x board with pxa27x_defconfig.
