The nds32 architecture, also known as AndeStar V3, is a custom 32-bit
RISC target designed by Andes Technologies. Support was added to the
kernel in 2016 as the replacement RISC-V based V5 processors were
already announced, and maintained by (current or former) Andes
employees.
As explained by Alan Kao, new customers are now all using RISC-V,
and all known nds32 users are already on longterm stable kernels
provided by Andes, with no development work going into mainline
support any more.
While the port is still in a reasonably good shape, it only gets
worse over time without active maintainers, so it seems best
to remove it before it becomes unusable. As always, if it turns
out that there are mainline users after all, and they volunteer
to maintain the port in the future, the removal can be reverted.

Use the generic ioremap_prot and iounmap helpers.
Note that the io.h include in pgtable.h had to be removed to not create
an include loop. As far as I can tell there was no need for it to
start with.

All MMU-enabled ports have a non-trivial ioremap and should thus provide
the prototype for their implementation instead of providing a generic
one unless a different symbol is not defined. Note that this only
affects sparc32 nds32 as all others do provide their own version.
Also update the kerneldoc comments in asm-generic/io.h to explain the
situation around the default ioremap* implementations correctly.

mmiowb() only makes sense for SMP platforms, so we can remove it
entirely for nds32.

It broke the 'allmodconfig' build.
We need to include <linux/types.h> to make sure the type is defined
before using it.
