KVM for ia64 has been marked as broken not just once, but twice even,
and the last patch from the maintainer is now roughly 5 years old.
Time for it to rest in peace.

The specification of Python 3 is largely different from that of
Python 2.

For example, arch/ia64/scripts/unwcheck.py seems to be written
in Python 2, not compatible with Python 3.

It is not a good idea to invoke python scripts with the hard-coded
command name 'python'. The command 'python' could possibly be
Python 3 on some systems.
For that case, it is reasonable to allow to override the command name
by giving 'PYTHON=python2' from the command line.

The 'python' in arch/ia64/Makefile should be replaced with '$(PYTHON)'.

ia64 has not been supported by Xen since 4.2 so it's time to drop
Xen/ia64 from Linux as well.

It is now possible to assign options to AS and CC
on the command line - which is only used for built-in code.

{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL was used both in the top-level Makefile
in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify
additional options to AS, CC without overriding
the original value.

Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL
that is used by arch specific files and free up
{A,C}FLAGS_KERNEL so they can be assigned on
the command line.

All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.

It is now possible to assign options to AS, CC and LD
on the command line - which is only used when building modules.

{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE was all used both in the top-level Makefile
in the arch makefiles, thus users had no way to specify
additional options to AS, CC, LD when building modules
without overriding the original value.

Introduce a new set of variables KBUILD_{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE
that is used by arch specific files and free up
{A,C,LD}FLAGS_MODULE so they can be assigned on
the command line.

All arch Makefiles that used the old variables has been updated.

Note: Previously we had a MODFLAGS variable for both
AS and CC. But in favour of consistency this was dropped.
So in some cases arch Makefile has one assignmnet replaced by
two assignmnets.

Note2: MODFLAGS was not documented and is dropped
without any notice. I do not expect much/any breakage
from this.

This has been broken since May 2008 when Al Viro killed altroot support.
Since nobody has complained, it would appear that there are no users of
this code (A plausible theory since the main OSVs that support ia64 prefer
to use the IA32-EL software emulation).

Between GCC version 3.4.0 and 4.3.3 (including 3.4.0 and 4.3.3), -mtune=merced
is implemented in GCC. Starting from 4.4.0, -mtune=merced is deprecated.

Even implemented in versions between 3.4.0 and 4.3.3, the -mtune=merced
feature has been broken in some of the versions. For example, GCC 4.1.2 reports
interanl tuning function errors during kernel building with -mtune=merced. Or
GCC Bugzilla 16130 reports another -mtune=merced issue on GCC 3.4.1.

So I would remove the -mtune=merced from IA64 kernel build. Without this option,
kernel on Merced will remain the same except losing an unstable and out-of-date
performance tunning feature.

Since GCC version 3.4.0, -mtune=mckinley has been implemented. The
-mtune=mckinley option functions the same as mtune=itanium2. And mtune=itanium2
is the default option. So we don't need to add mtune=mckinley either since its
been the default option in any GCC version which implements this option.
