Arnd Bergmann 1ea5afd42a Documentation: arch-support: remove obsolete architectures
A number of architecture ports are obsolete and getting dropped,
so we no longer want to track the respective features.

We already removed the lines for metag and mn10300, this does
the same edits for all the others.

For the remaining 21 architectures, this shows how many are known
to implement each given feature:

need to be added.

# Feature name: membarrier-sync-core
# Kconfig: ARCH_HAS_MEMBARRIER_SYNC_CORE
# description: arch supports core serializing membarrier
#
# Architecture requirements
#
# * arm64
#
# Rely on eret context synchronization when returning from IPI handler, and
# when returning to user-space.
#
# * x86
#
# x86-32 uses IRET as return from interrupt, which takes care of the IPI.
# However, it uses both IRET and SYSEXIT to go back to user-space. The IRET
# instruction is core serializing, but not SYSEXIT.
#
# x86-64 uses IRET as return from interrupt, which takes care of the IPI.
# However, it can return to user-space through either SYSRETL (compat code),
# SYSRETQ, or IRET.
#
# Given that neither SYSRET{L,Q}, nor SYSEXIT, are core serializing, we rely
# instead on write_cr3() performed by switch_mm() to provide core serialization
# after changing the current mm, and deal with the special case of kthread ->
# uthread (temporarily keeping current mm into active_mm) by issuing a
# sync_core_before_usermode() in that specific case.
