The arch support status files don't match reality as of v5.19-rc1,
use the features-refresh.sh to refresh all the arch-support.txt files
in place.  The main effect is to add entries for the new loong

fba2689ee7 Merge branch 'remove-h8300' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc into asm-generic
* 'remove-h8300' of git://git.infradead.org/users/hch/misc:
  remove the h8300 architecture

This is clearly the least actively maintained architecture we have at
the moment, and probably the least useful. It is now the only one that
does not support MMUs at all, and most of the boards only support 4MB
of RAM, out of which the defconfig kernel needs more than half just
for .text/.data.

Guenter Roeck did the original patch to remove the architecture in 2013
after it had already been obsolete for a while, and Yoshinori Sato brought
it back in a much more modern form in 2015. Looking at the git history
since the reinstantiation, it's clear that almost all commits in the tree
are build fixes or cross-architecture cleanups:

aec499c75c nds32: Remove the architecture
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.

fb37409a01 arch: remove unicore32 port
The unicore32 port do not seem maintained for a long time now, there is no
upstream toolchain that can create unicore32 binaries and all the links to
prebuilt toolchains for unicore32 are dead. Even compilers that were
available are not supported by the kernel anymore.

Guenter Roeck says:

  I have stopped building unicore32 images since v4.19 since there is no
  available compiler that is still supported by the kernel. I am surprised
  that support for it has not been removed from the kernel.

Remove unicore32 port.

7246f60068 powerpc updates for 4.12 part 1.
Highlights include:
 
  - Larger virtual address space on 64-bit server CPUs. By default we use a 128TB
    virtual address space, but a process can request access to the full 512TB by
    passing a hint to mmap().
 
  - Support for the new Power9 "XIVE" interrupt controller.
 
  - TLB flushing optimisations for the radix MMU on Power9.
 
  - Support for CAPI cards on Power9, using the "Coherent Accelerator Interface
    Architecture 2.0".
 
  - The ability to configure the mmap randomisation limits at build and runtime.
 
  - Several small fixes and cleanups to the kprobes code, as well as support for
    KPROBES_ON_FTRACE.
 
  - Major improvements to handling of system reset interrupts, correctly treating
    them as NMIs, giving them a dedicated stack and using a new hypervisor call
    to trigger them, all of which should aid debugging and robustness.
 
 Many fixes and other minor enhancements.

avoids the use of a trap, by riding on ftrace infrastructure.

This depends on HAVE_DYNAMIC_FTRACE_WITH_REGS which depends on MPROFILE_KERNEL,
