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.

cpu_is_at91* are not used in any driver outside mach-at91. Remove those
useless definitions.

Somme common drivers will need those at91 cpu_is_xxx() definitions.
Those definitions are already in Linus' tree so if we want to use them
in common drivers, we will need them in AVR32 cpu.h file.

cpu_is_xxx() macros are identifying generic at91sam9g45 chip. This patch adds
the capacity to differentiate Engineering Samples and final lots through the
inclusion of at91_cpu_fully_identify() and the related chip IDs with chip
version field preserved.

Somme common drivers will need those at91 cpu_is_xxx() definitions. As
at91sam9g10 and at91sam9g45 are on the way to linus' tree, here is the patch
that adds those chips to cpu.h in AVR32 architecture.

Add arch/avr32/mach-*/include to include search path and copy all the
files from include/asm/arch there. The old files will be removed once
ARM does the same change and all common drivers are converted.
