This patch drops support for AVR32 architecture from the Linux kernel.
The AVR32 architecture is not keeping up with the development of the
kernel, and since it shares so much of the drivers with Atmel ARM SoC,
it is starting to hinder these drivers to develop swiftly.
Also, all AVR32 AP7 SoC processors are end of lifed from Atmel (now
Microchip).
Finally, the GCC toolchain is stuck at version 4.2.x, and has not
received any patches since the last release from Atmel;
4.2.4-atmel.1.1.3.avr32linux.1. When building kernel v4.10, this
toolchain is no longer able to properly link the network stack.
Haavard and I have came to the conclusion that we feel keeping AVR32 on
life support offers more obstacles for Atmel ARMs, than it gives joy to
AVR32 users. I also suspect there are very few AVR32 users left today,
if anybody at all.

These are derivatives of the AT32AP7000 chip, which means that most of
the code stays the same. Rename a few files, functions, definitions
and config symbols to reflect that they apply to all AP700x chips, and
exclude some platform devices from chips where they aren't present.

Fix the I/O access macros so that they work with externally connected
devices accessed in little-endian mode over any bus width:
* Use a set of macros to define I/O port- and memory operations
borrowed from MIPS.
* Allow subarchitecture to specify address- and data-mangling
* Implement at32ap-specific port mangling (with build-time
configurable bus width. Only one bus width at a time supported
for now.)
* Rewrite iowriteN and friends to use write[bwl] and friends
(not the __raw counterparts.)
This has been tested using pata_pcmcia to access a CompactFlash card
connected to the EBI (16-bit bus width.)

Include at32ap-specific Kconfig file from top-level Kconfig file. The
at32ap Kconfig is currently empty, but it will grow some machine-
specific options soon.
