It is possible to build MMU-less kernels for Cortex-M base
microcrontrollers as well as a couple of older platforms that
have not been converted to CONFIG_ARCH_MULTIPLATFORM,
specifically ep93xx, footbridge, dove, sa1100 and s3c24xx.
It seems unlikely that anybody has tested those configurations
in recent years, as even building them is frequently broken.
A patch I submitted caused another build time regression
in this configuration. I sent a patch for that, but it seems
better to also remove the option entirely, leaving ARMv7-M
as the only supported Arm NOMMU target for simplicity.
A couple of platforms have dependencies on CONFIG_MMU, those
can all be removed now. Notably, mach-integrator tries to
support MMU-less CPU cores, but those have not actually been
selectable for a long time.
This addresses several build failures in randconfig builds that
have accumulated over the years.
