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.

nds32 has only two-level page tables and can use pgtable-nopmd and
folding of the upper layers.
Replace usage of include/asm-generic/4level-fixup.h and explicit
definition of __PAGETABLE_PMD_FOLDED in nds32 with
include/asm-generic/pgtable-nopmd.h and adjust page table manipulation
macros and functions accordingly.

For the architectures that do not implement their own tlb_flush() but
do already use the generic mmu_gather, there are two options:
1) the platform has an efficient flush_tlb_range() and
asm-generic/tlb.h doesn't need any overrides at all.
2) the platform lacks an efficient flush_tlb_range() and
we select MMU_GATHER_NO_RANGE to minimize full invalidates.
Convert all 'simple' architectures to one of these two forms.
alpha: has no range invalidate -> 2
arc: already used flush_tlb_range() -> 1
c6x: has no range invalidate -> 2
hexagon: has an efficient flush_tlb_range() -> 1
(flush_tlb_mm() is in fact a full range invalidate,
so no need to shoot down everything)
m68k: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
microblaze: has no flush_tlb_range() -> 2
mips: has efficient flush_tlb_range() -> 1
(even though it currently seems to use flush_tlb_mm())
nds32: already uses flush_tlb_range() -> 1
nios2: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
(no limit on range iteration)
openrisc: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
(no limit on range iteration)
parisc: already uses flush_tlb_range() -> 1
sparc32: already uses flush_tlb_range() -> 1
unicore32: has inefficient flush_tlb_range() -> 2
(no limit on range iteration)
xtensa: has efficient flush_tlb_range() -> 1
Note this also fixes a bug in the existing code for a number
platforms. Those platforms that did:
tlb_end_vma() -> if (!full_mm) flush_tlb_*()
tlb_flush -> if (full_mm) flush_tlb_mm()
missed the case of shift_arg_pages(), which doesn't have @fullmm set,
nor calls into tlb_*vma(), but still frees page-tables and thus needs
an invalidate. The new code handles this by detecting a non-empty
range, and either issuing the matching range invalidate or a full
invalidate, depending on the capabilities.
No change in behavior intended.

The one obvious thing SH and ARM want is a sensible default for
tlb_start_vma(). (also: https://lkml.org/lkml/2004/1/15/6 )
Avoid all VIPT architectures providing their own tlb_start_vma()
implementation and rely on architectures to provide a no-op
flush_cache_range() when it is not relevant.
This patch makes tlb_start_vma() default to flush_cache_range(), which
should be right and sufficient. The only exceptions that I found where
(oddly):
- m68k-mmu
- sparc64
- unicore
Those architectures appear to have flush_cache_range(), but their
current tlb_start_vma() does not call it.
No change in behavior intended.
