[PATCH 21/21] ARM: Kirkwood: Remove DT support

What this patchset does is also make mach-mvebu part of the multi v5
kernel. So you just need one kernel for all ARM v5 machines which are
part of multi v5. The long term goal is that you need just two 32 ARM
kernels, multi v5 and multi v7. However orion5x and mv76xx0 are not
yet part of theses, so we are not there yet.
So in answer to my question, on v5 ARCH_KIRKWOOD and ARCH_MVEBU *cannot*
coexist in the same binary?
Clearly ARCH_MVEBU v7 cannot. What i need to determine is if
ARCH_KIRKWOOD and ARCH_MVEBU v5 will go into one binary. I _think_ the
answer is no, but i need to take a closer look.

What i suspect we will end up doing it dropping the last patch for the
moment and ensuring ARCH_KIRKWOOD still supports all the DT machines.
I think that just needs care with arch/arm/boot/dts/Makefile.

Once we have the last four converted over to DT, you can then do a
straight swap, mach-kirkwood for mach-mvebu.

I will get back to you in a couple of days once i have this all
figured out.
