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 semantics of the old tile __write_once are the same as the
newer generic __ro_after_init, so rename them all and get rid
of the tile-specific version.
This does not enable actual support for __ro_after_init,
which had been dropped from the tile architecture before the
initial upstreaming was done, since we had at that time switched
to using 16MB huge pages to map the kernel.

The tile architecture already marks RO_DATA as read-only in
the kernel, so grouping RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA with RO_DATA, as is
done by default, means the kernel faults in init when it tries
to write to RO_AFTER_INIT_DATA. For now, just arrange that
__ro_after_init is handled like __write_once, i.e. __read_mostly.

This was really only useful for TILE64 when we mapped the
kernel data with small pages. Now we use a huge page and we
really don't want to map different parts of the kernel
data in different ways.
We retain the __write_once name in case we want to bring
it back to life at some point in the future.
Note that this change uncovered a latent bug where the
"smp_topology" variable happened to always be aligned mod 8
so we could store two "int" values at once, but when we
eliminated __write_once it ended up only aligned mod 4.
Fix with an explicit annotation.

The tilegx PCI root complex support (currently only in linux-next)
is limited to pages that are homed on cached in the default manner,
i.e. "hash-for-home". This change supports delivery of I/O data to
pages that are cached in other ways (locally on a particular core,
uncached, user-managed incoherent, etc.).
A large part of the change is supporting flushing pages from cache
on particular homes so that we can transition the data that we are
delivering to or from the device appropriately. The new homecache_finv*
routines handle this.
Some changes to page_table_range_init() were also required to make
the fixmap code work correctly on tilegx; it hadn't been used there
before.
We also remove some stub mark_caches_evicted_*() routines that
were just no-ops anyway.

The convention changed to, e.g., ".data..page_aligned". This commit
fixes the places in the tile architecture that were still using the
old convention. One tile-specific section (.init.page) was dropped
in favor of just using an "aligned" attribute.
Sam Ravnborg <sam@ravnborg.org> pointed out __PAGE_ALIGNED_BSS, etc.

None of these changes fix any actual bugs, but are just various cleanups
that fell out along the way. In particular, some unused #defines and
includes are removed, PREFETCH_STRIDE is added (the default is right for
our shipping chips, but wrong for our next generation), our tile-specific
prefetching code is removed so the (identical) generic prefetching code
can be used instead, a comment is fixed to be proper GPL and not just a
"paste GPL here" token, a "//" comment is converted to "/* */", etc.

Architectures that handle DMA-non-coherent memory need to set
ARCH_KMALLOC_MINALIGN to make sure that kmalloc'ed buffer is DMA-safe:
the buffer doesn't share a cache with the others.

This change is the core kernel support for TILEPro and TILE64 chips.
No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet.
This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level
low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are
shared with the hypervisor, etc., and are build-system agnostic;
and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
