sparc64: Cleanups and corrections for arch/sparc64/Kconfig

Browse Source 
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--"

SPARC is a family of RISC microprocessors designed and marketed by
Sun Microsystems, incorporated. This port covers the newer 64-bit
UltraSPARC. The UltraLinux project maintains both the SPARC32 and

The Extended Industry Standard Architecture (EISA) bus was
developed as an open alternative to the IBM MicroChannel bus.
The EISA bus provided some of the features of the IBM MicroChannel

the older ISA bus. The EISA bus saw limited use between 1988 and
1995 when it was made obsolete by the PCI bus.
