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.

Pull nds32 fixes from Greentime Hu:
- fix warning for math-emu
- fix nds32 fpu exception handling
- fix nds32 fpu emulation implementation

nds32: add new emulations for floating point instruction
nds32: Avoid IEX status being incorrectly modified
math-emu: Use statement expressions to fix Wshift-count-overflow warning

The existing floating point emulations is only available for floating
instruction that possibly issue denormalized input and underflow
exceptions. These existing FPU emulations are not sufficient when IEx
Trap is enabled because some floating point instructions only issue inexact
exception. This patch adds the emulations of such floating point
instructions.

The Andes FPU coprocessor does not support denormalized number handling.
According to the specification, FPU generates a denorm input exception
that requires the kernel to deal with this instrution operation when it
encounters denormalized operands. Hence an nds32 FPU ISA emulator in the
kernel is required to meet requirement.
