The earliest Meta architecture port of Linux I have a record of was an
import of a Meta port of Linux v2.4.1 in February 2004, which was worked
on significantly over the next few years by Graham Whaley, Will Newton,
Matt Fleming, myself and others.

Eventually the port was merged into mainline in v3.9 in March 2013, not
long after Imagination Technologies bought MIPS Technologies and shifted
its CPU focus over to the MIPS architecture.

As a result, though the port was maintained for a while, kept on life
support for a while longer, and useful for testing a few specific
drivers for which I don't have ready access to the equivalent MIPS
hardware, it is now essentially dead with no users.

It is also stuck using an out-of-tree toolchain based on GCC 4.2.4 which
is no longer maintained, now struggles to build modern kernels due to
toolchain bugs, and doesn't itself build with a modern GCC. The latest
buildroot port is still using an old uClibc snapshot which is no longer
served, and the latest uClibc doesn't build with GCC 4.2.4.

So lets call it a day and drop the Meta architecture port from the
kernel. RIP Meta.

kick_handler() doesn't have an irq_enter/exit pair, but it's used for
handling SMP IPIs which require work to be done in softirqs, which are
invoked from irq_exit() when the hard irq nest count reaches 0.

The scheduler_ipi() callback in the IPI handler calls irq_enter/exit
itself, but this is inside kick_handler()'s spin lock critical section,
so if an invoked softirq issues an IPI the kick_handler() will be
re-entered on the same CPU and will deadlock.

This is easily fixed by adding the missing irq_enter/exit to
kick_handler() so that the hard irq nest count doesn't reach 0 until
after the spin lock has been released.

Ideally the spin lock protected handler list will also be replaced by a
lockless RCU protected list since it is certainly mostly read. That can
be done in a later change though.

It's less error prone to have function symbols exported immediately
after the function rather than in metag_ksyms.c. Move each EXPORT_SYMBOL
in metag_ksyms.c for symbols defined in kick.c into kick.c

Add trap code for metag. At the lowest level Meta traps (and return from
interrupt instruction - RTI) simply swap the PC and PCX registers and
optionally toggle the interrupt status bit (ISTAT). Low level TBX code
in tbipcx.S handles the core context save, determine the TBX signal
number based on the core trigger that fired (using the TXSTATI status
register), and call TBX signal handlers (mostly in traps.c) via a vector
table.
