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.

First, fix a bug in asm/unaligned.h; we need to just use the asm-generic
unaligned.h so we properly choose endian-correct flavors.
Second, keep the hv/hypervisor.h ABI fully "native" in the sense that
we don't have __BIG_ENDIAN__ ifdefs there. Instead, we use macros in
the head_NN.S assembly code to properly extract two 32-bit structure
members from a 64-bit register holding the structure.

This change is the core kernel support for TILEPro and TILE64 chips.
No driver support (except the console driver) is included yet.
This includes the relevant Linux headers in asm/; the low-level
low-level "Tile architecture" headers in arch/, which are
shared with the hypervisor, etc., and are build-system agnostic;
and the relevant hypervisor headers in hv/.
