In commit 19e8b701e258 ("a.out: Stop building a.out/osf1 support on

As nothing has turned up to cause this change to be reverted, let's
remove the code implementing a.out support as well.

There may be userspace users of the uapi bits left so the uapi

Let's do it! It can always be reverted. :) My favorite kind of patch:
 22 files changed, 1 insertion(+), 505 deletions(-)
                                     ^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

Applied to for-next/execve, thanks!
