The Tile architecture port was added by Chris Metcalf in 2010, and
maintained until early 2018 when he orphaned it due to his departure
from Mellanox, and nobody else stepped up to maintain it. The product
line is still around in the form of the BlueField SoC, but no longer
uses the Tile architecture.
There are also still products for sale with Tile-GX SoCs, notably the
Mikrotik CCR router family. The products all use old (linux-3.3) kernels
with lots of patches and won't be upgraded by their manufacturers. There
have been efforts to port both OpenWRT and Debian to these, but both
projects have stalled and are very unlikely to be continued in the future.
Given that we are reasonably sure that nobody is still using the port
with an upstream kernel any more, it seems better to remove it now while
the port is in a good shape than to let it bitrot for a few years first.

The kernel code was using some <asm> headers that included a mix
of hardware-specific information (typically found in Tilera <arch>
headers) and structures, enums, and function declarations supporting
the disassembly function of the tile-desc.c sources.
This change refactors that code so that a hardware-specific, but
OS- and application-agnostic header, is created: <arch/opcode.h>.
This header is then exported to userspace along with the other
<arch> headers and can be used to build userspace code; in particular,
it is used by glibc as part of implementing the backtrace() function.
The new header, together with a header that specifically describes
the disassembly code (<asm/tile-desc.h> with _32 and _64 variants),
replaces the old <asm/opcode-tile*.h> and <asm/opcode_constants*.h>
headers.
As part of this change, we are also renaming the 32-bit constants
from TILE_xxx to TILEPRO_xxx to better reflect the fact that they
are specific to the TILEPro architecture, and not to TILE-Gx
and any successor "tile" architecture chips.

This support was partially present in the existing code (look for
"__tilegx__" ifdefs) but with this change you can build a working
kernel using the TILE-Gx toolchain and ARCH=tilegx.
Most of these files are new, generally adding a foo_64.c file
where previously there was just a foo_32.c file.
The ARCH=tilegx directive redirects to arch/tile, not arch/tilegx,
using the existing SRCARCH mechanism in the top-level Makefile.
Changes to existing files:
- <asm/bitops.h> and <asm/bitops_32.h> changed to factor the
include of <asm-generic/bitops/non-atomic.h> in the common header.
- <asm/compat.h> and arch/tile/kernel/compat.c changed to remove
the "const" markers I had put on compat_sys_execve() when trying
to match some recent similar changes to the non-compat execve.
It turns out the compat version wasn't "upgraded" to use const.
- <asm/opcode-tile_64.h> and <asm/opcode_constants_64.h> were
previously included accidentally, with the 32-bit contents. Now
they have the proper 64-bit contents.
Finally, I had to hack the existing hacky drivers/input/input-compat.h
to add yet another "#ifdef" for INPUT_COMPAT_TEST (same as x86_64).
