Now all 64-bit architectures have been converted to int-ll64.h, we can
deprecate int-l64.h in kernelspace:
  - Add a check to prevent new architectures from using int-l64.h in
    kernelspace,
  - Update documentation, as the casts to (unsigned) long long are no longer
    needed.

For backwards compatibility, alpha, ia64, mips, and powerpc still use
int-l64.h in userspace.

For the documentation parts:

I believe that Al Viro is working on a patch to unify all umode_t definitions
so that it becomes unsigned short everywhere. Once that is done,
asm-generic/int-ll64.h can become asm-generic/types.h and all architectures
can use that.
