   ppc/4xx: Remove 4xx support from arch/ppc

   Remove support for PPC 403, 405, and 440 processors from arch/ppc.  The
   arch/powerpc equivalents should be used.  Boards that are not ported yet
   will need to be ported to arch/powerpc to have continued support.

This looks like unneeded churn.

Excellent.  My prompting has succeeded.  Though now I won't get to be
on top of the "top contributors" list in the lwn.net pages like Kumar
was.  Oh well.

Paulus, Can we just kill all of arch/ppc for .27 right now?

Please.  Pretty please?
