Fix an error reported by the kernel test robot:
 au1100fb.c: error: implicit declaration of function 'KSEG1ADDR'; did you mean 'CKSEG1ADDR'?

arch/mips/include/asm/addrspace.h defines KSEG1ADDR only for 32 bit
configurations. So provide its compile-test stub also for 64bit mips builds.

<title>Convert more 'alloc_obj' cases to default GFP_KERNEL arguments</title>

This converts some of the visually simpler cases that have been split
over multiple lines.  I only did the ones that are easy to verify the
resulting diff by having just that final GFP_KERNEL argument on the next
line.

Somebody should probably do a proper coccinelle script for this, but for
me the trivial script actually resulted in an assertion failure in the
middle of the script.  I probably had made it a bit _too_ trivial.

So after fighting that far a while I decided to just do some of the
syntactically simpler cases with variations of the previous 'sed'
scripts.

The more syntactically complex multi-line cases would mostly really want
whitespace cleanup anyway.

<title>Convert 'alloc_flex' family to use the new default GFP_KERNEL argument</title>

This is the exact same thing as the 'alloc_obj()' version, only much
smaller because there are a lot fewer users of the *alloc_flex()
interface.

As with alloc_obj() version, this was done entirely with mindless brute
force, using the same script, except using 'flex' in the pattern rather
than 'objs*'.

<content type='text'>
This was done entirely with mindless brute force, using

    git grep -l '\&lt;k[vmz]*alloc_objs*(.*, GFP_KERNEL)' |
        xargs sed -i 's/\(alloc_objs*(.*\), GFP_KERNEL)/\1)/'

to convert the new alloc_obj() users that had a simple GFP_KERNEL
argument to just drop that argument.

Note that due to the extreme simplicity of the scripting, any slightly
more complex cases spread over multiple lines would not be triggered:
they definitely exist, but this covers the vast bulk of the cases, and
the resulting diff is also then easier to check automatically.

For the same reason the 'flex' versions will be done as a separate
conversion.

<title>treewide: Replace kmalloc with kmalloc_obj for non-scalar types</title>

<content type='text'>
This is the result of running the Coccinelle script from
scripts/coccinelle/api/kmalloc_objs.cocci. The script is designed to
avoid scalar types (which need careful case-by-case checking), and
instead replace kmalloc-family calls that allocate struct or union
object instances:

Single allocations:	kmalloc(sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_obj(TYPE, ...)

Array allocations:	kmalloc_array(COUNT, sizeof(TYPE), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_objs(TYPE, COUNT, ...)

Flex array allocations:	kmalloc(struct_size(PTR, FAM, COUNT), ...)
are replaced with:	kmalloc_flex(*PTR, FAM, COUNT, ...)

(where TYPE may also be *VAR)

The resulting allocations no longer return "void *", instead returning
"TYPE *".

The global wrappers also have the advantage to do stricter format
checking, so the pr_devel formats are also checked if DEBUG is not
defined. The global variants only check for DEBUG being defined and not
its actual value, so the #define to zero is dropped, too.

There is only a slight semantic change as the (by default disabled)
debug output doesn't contain __FILE__ any more.

The header asm/mach-au1x00/au1000.h is unused apart from pulling in
&lt;linux/delay.h&gt; (for mdelay()) and &lt;linux/io.h&gt; (for KSEG1ADDR()). Then
the only platform specific part in the driver is the usage of the KSEG1ADDR
macro, which for the non-mips case can be stubbed.

%zu is the dedicated type for size_t. %d only works on 32bit
architectures where size_t is typedef'd to be unsigned int. (And then
the signedness doesn't fit, but `gcc -Wformat` doesn't stumble over this.
Also the size of dma_addr_t is architecture dependent and it should be
printkd using %pad (and the value passed by reference).

This prepares allowing this driver to be compiled on non-mips platforms.
