A lot of Kconfig symbols have architecture specific dependencies.
In those cases that depend on architectures we have already removed,
they can be omitted.

Tile was the only remaining architecture to implement alloc_remap(),
and since that is being removed, there is no point in keeping this
function.
Removing all callers simplifies the mem_map handling.

The CONFIG_MPU option was only defined on blackfin, and that architecture
is now being removed, so the respective code can be simplified.
A lot of other microcontrollers have an MPU, but I suspect that if we
want to bring that support back, we'd do it differently anyway.

Hardwall is a tile specific feature, and with the removal of the
tile architecture, this has become dead code, so let's remove it.

The port was added back in 2000 so it's no longer even a good source
of inspiration for newer ports (if it ever was)
The last SoC (ARTPEC-3) with a CRIS main CPU was launched in 2008.
Coupled with time and working developer board hardware being
in low supply, it's time to drop the port from Linux.
So long and thanks for all the fish!

The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.
There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.
Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

The Analog Devices Blackfin port was added in 2007 and was rather
active for a while, but all work on it has come to a standstill
over time, as Analog have changed their product line-up.
Aaron Wu confirmed that the architecture port is no longer relevant,
and multiple people suggested removing blackfin independently because
of some of its oddities like a non-working SMP port, and the amount of
duplication between the chip variants, which cause extra work when
doing cross-architecture changes.

The Sunplus S+core architecture was added in 2009 by Chen Liqin,
who has been co-maintaining it with Lennox Wu <lennox.wu@gmail.com>
since then, but after they both left the company, nobody else has shown
any interest in the port and it has seen almost no activity other than
tree-wide changes.
The gcc port was removed a few years ago due to the inactivity.
While the sunplus website still advertises products with unspecified
RISC cores that might be S+core based, it's very clear that the Linux
port is completely abandoned at this point.
This removes all files related to the architecture.

The Mitsubishi/Renesas m32r architecture has been around for many years,
but the Linux port has been obsolete for a very long time as well, with
the last significant updates done for linux-2.6.14.
While some m32r microcontrollers are still being marketed by Renesas,
those are apparently no longer possible to support, mainly due to the
lack of an external memory interface.
Hirokazu Takata was the maintainer until the architecture got marked
Orphaned in 2014.

The Fujitsu FRV kernel port has been around for a long time, but has not
seen regular updates in several years and instead was marked 'Orphaned'
in 2016 by long-time maintainer David Howells.
The SoC product line apparently is apparently still around in the form
of the Socionext Milbeaut image processor, but this one no longer uses
the FRV CPU cores.
This removes all FRV specific files from the kernel.

Remove metag architecture
These patches remove the metag architecture and tightly dependent
drivers from the kernel. With the 4.16 kernel the ancient gcc 4.2.4
based metag toolchain we have been using is hitting compiler bugs, so
now seems a good time to drop it altogether.

"A 4.16 regression fix, three fixes for -stable, and a cleanup fix:
- During the merge window support for the new ACPI NVDIMM Platform
Capabilities structure disabled support for "deep flush", a
force-unit- access like mechanism for persistent memory. Restore
that mechanism.
- VFIO like RDMA is yet one more memory registration / pinning
interface that is incompatible with Filesystem-DAX. Disable long
term pins of Filesystem-DAX mappings via VFIO.
- The Filesystem-DAX detection to prevent long terms pins mistakenly
also disabled Device-DAX pins which are not subject to the same
block- map collision concerns.
- Similar to the setup path, softlockup warnings can trigger in the
shutdown path for large persistent memory namespaces. Teach
for_each_device_pfn() to perform cond_resched() in all cases.
- Boaz noticed that the might_sleep() in dax_direct_access() is stale
as of the v4.15 kernel.
These have received a build success notification from the 0day robot,
and the longterm pin fixes have appeared in -next. However, I recently
rebased the tree to remove some other fixes that need to be reworked
after review feedback.
