The Samsung S3C24xx and S3C64xx platforms are very old designs. S3C2416
was introduced in 2008 and S3C6410 in 2009/2010. They are not widely
available anymore - out-of-stock on FriendlyArm (one of manufacturers of
boards) and only few specialist stores still offer them for quite a high
price.
The community around these platforms was not very active, so I suspect
no one really uses them anymore. Maintenance takes precious time so
there is little sense in keeping them alive if there are no real users.
Let's mark all S3C24xx and S3C64xx platforms as deprecated and mention
possible removal in after 2022 for the first and 2024 for the lattere.
The deprecation message will be as text in Kconfig, build message (not a
warning though) and runtime print error.
If there are any users, they might respond and postpone the removal.

BAST is the one machine that theoretically supports unmodified ISA
drivers for hardware on its PC/104 connector, using a custom version of
the inb()/outb() and inw()/outw() macros.
This is incompatible with the generic version used in asm/io.h, and
can't easily be used in a multiplatform kernel.
Removing the special case for 16-bit I/O port access on BAST gets us
closer to multiplatform, at the expense of any PC/104 users with 16-bit
cards having to either use an older kernel or modify their ISA drivers
to manually ioremap() the area and use readw()/write() in place of
inw()/outw(). Either way is probably ok, given that there is a
recurring discussion about dropping s3c24xx altogether, and many
traditional ISA drivers are already gone.
Machines other than BAST already have no support for ISA drivers, though a
couple of them do map one of the external chip-selects into the ISA port
range, using the same address for 8-bit and 16-bit I/O. It is unlikely
that anything actually uses this mapping, but it's also easy to keep
this working by mapping it to the normal platform-independent PCI I/O
base that is otherwise unused on s3c24xx.
The mach/map-base.h file is no longer referenced in global headers and
can be moved into the platform directory.

A lot of header files are only used internally now, so they can be moved
to mach-s3c, out of the visibility of drivers.

s3c24xx and s3c64xx have a lot in common, but are split across three
separate directories, which makes the interaction of the header files
more complicated than necessary.
Move all three directories into a new mach-s3c, with a minimal
set of changes to each file.
