The Itanium architecture is obsolete, and an informal survey [0] reveals
that any residual use of Itanium hardware in production is mostly HP-UX
or OpenVMS based. The use of Linux on Itanium appears to be limited to
enthusiasts that occasionally boot a fresh Linux kernel to see whether
things are still working as intended, and perhaps to churn out some
distro packages that are rarely used in practice.
None of the original companies behind Itanium still produce or support
any hardware or software for the architecture, and it is listed as
'Orphaned' in the MAINTAINERS file, as apparently, none of the engineers
that contributed on behalf of those companies (nor anyone else, for that
matter) have been willing to support or maintain the architecture
upstream or even be responsible for applying the odd fix. The Intel
firmware team removed all IA-64 support from the Tianocore/EDK2
reference implementation of EFI in 2018. (Itanium is the original
architecture for which EFI was developed, and the way Linux supports it
deviates significantly from other architectures.) Some distros, such as
Debian and Gentoo, still maintain [unofficial] ia64 ports, but many have
dropped support years ago.
While the argument is being made [1] that there is a 'for the common
good' angle to being able to build and run existing projects such as the
Grid Community Toolkit [2] on Itanium for interoperability testing, the
fact remains that none of those projects are known to be deployed on
Linux/ia64, and very few people actually have access to such a system in
the first place. Even if there were ways imaginable in which Linux/ia64
could be put to good use today, what matters is whether anyone is
actually doing that, and this does not appear to be the case.
There are no emulators widely available, and so boot testing Itanium is
generally infeasible for ordinary contributors. GCC still supports IA-64
but its compile farm [3] no longer has any IA-64 machines. GLIBC would
like to get rid of IA-64 [4] too because it would permit some overdue
code cleanups. In summary, the benefits to the ecosystem of having IA-64
be part of it are mostly theoretical, whereas the maintenance overhead
of keeping it supported is real.
So let's rip off the band aid, and remove the IA-64 arch code entirely.
This follows the timeline proposed by the Debian/ia64 maintainer [5],
which removes support in a controlled manner, leaving IA-64 in a known
good state in the most recent LTS release. Other projects will follow
once the kernel support is removed.

There are no users left, all drivers have been converted to use the
per-device private pointer offered by IOMMU core.

There is a generic, kernel wide configuration symbol for enabling the
IOMMU specific bits: CONFIG_IOMMU_API. Implementations (including
INTEL_IOMMU driver) select it so use it here as well.
This makes the conditional archdata.iommu field consistent with other
platforms and also fixes any compile test builds of other IOMMU drivers,
when INTEL_IOMMU is not selected).
For the case when INTEL_IOMMU and COMPILE_TEST are not selected, this
should create functionally equivalent code/choice. With COMPILE_TEST
this field could appear if other IOMMU drivers are chosen but
INTEL_IOMMU not.

With ACPI 5 we are starting to see devices that don't natively support
discovery but can be enumerated with the help of the ACPI namespace.
Typically, these devices can be represented in the Linux device driver
model as platform devices or some serial bus devices, like SPI or I2C
devices.
Since we want to re-use existing drivers for those devices, we need a
way for drivers to specify the ACPI IDs of supported devices, so that
they can be matched against device nodes in the ACPI namespace. To
this end, it is sufficient to add a pointer to an array of supported
ACPI device IDs, that can be provided by the driver, to struct device.
Moreover, things like ACPI power management need to have access to
the ACPI handle of each supported device, because that handle is used
to invoke AML methods associated with the corresponding ACPI device
node. The ACPI handles of devices are now stored in the archdata
member structure of struct device whose definition depends on the
architecture and includes the ACPI handle only on x86 and ia64. Since
the pointer to an array of supported ACPI IDs is added to struct
device_driver in an architecture-independent way, it is logical to
move the ACPI handle from archdata to struct device itself at the same
time. This also makes code more straightforward in some places and
follows the example of Device Trees that have a poiter to struct
device_node in there too.
This changeset is based on Mika Westerberg's work.

Change the CONFIG_DMAR to CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU to be consistent
with the other IOMMU options.
Rename the CONFIG_INTR_REMAP to CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP to match the
irq subsystem name.
And define the CONFIG_DMAR_TABLE for the common ACPI DMAR
routines shared by both CONFIG_INTEL_IOMMU and CONFIG_IRQ_REMAP.

Allow architecture specific data in struct platform_device V3.
With this patch struct pdev_archdata is added to struct
platform_device, similar to struct dev_archdata in found in
struct device. Useful for architecture code that needs to
keep extra data associated with each platform device.
Struct pdev_archdata is different from dev.platform_data, the
convention is that dev.platform_data points to driver-specific
data. It may or may not be required by the driver. The format
of this depends on driver but is the same across architectures.
The structure pdev_archdata is a place for architecture specific
data. This data is handled by architecture specific code (for
example runtime PM), and since it is architecture specific it
should _never_ be touched by device driver code. Exactly like
struct dev_archdata but for platform devices.
[rjw: This change is for power management mostly and that's why it
goes through the suspend tree.]

The patch contains Intel IOMMU IA64 specific code. It defines new
machvec dig_vtd, hooks for IOMMU, DMAR table detection, cache line flush
function, etc.
For a generic kernel with CONFIG_DMAR=y, if Intel IOMMU is detected,
dig_vtd is used for machinve vector. Otherwise, kernel falls back to
dig machine vector. Kernel parameter "machvec=dig" or "intel_iommu=off"
can be used to force kernel to boot dig machine vector.

After moving the the include files there were a few clean-ups:
1) Some files used #include <asm-ia64/xyz.h>, changed to <asm/xyz.h>
2) Some comments alerted maintainers to look at various header files to
make matching updates if certain code were to be changed. Updated these
comments to use the new include paths.
3) Some header files mentioned their own names in initial comments. Just
deleted these self references.
