No (active) developer owns this hardware, so let's remove Linux support.

The GCC_OFF12_ASM macro is used for 12-bit immediate constrains
but we will also use it for 9-bit constrains on MIPS R6 so we
rename it to something more appropriate.

In the microMIPS encoding some memory access instructions have their
immediate offset reduced to 12 bits only. That does not match the GCC
`R' constraint we use in some places to satisfy the requirement,
resulting in build failures like this:
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:720: Error: macro used $at after ".set noat"
{standard input}:720: Warning: macro instruction expanded into multiple instructions
Fix the problem by defining a macro, `GCC_OFF12_ASM', that expands to
the right constraint depending on whether microMIPS or standard MIPS
code is produced. Also apply the fix to where `m' is used as in the
worst case this change does nothing, e.g. where the pointer was already
in a register such as a function argument and no further offset was
requested, and in the best case it avoids an extraneous sequence of up
to two instructions to load the high 20 bits of the address in the LL/SC
loop. This reduces the risk of lock contention that is the higher the
more instructions there are in the critical section between LL and SC.
Strictly speaking we could just bulk-replace `R' with `ZC' as the latter
constraint adjusts automatically depending on the ISA selected.
However it was only introduced with GCC 4.9 and we keep supporing older
compilers for the standard MIPS configuration, hence the slightly more
complicated approach I chose.
The choice of a zero-argument function-like rather than an object-like
macro was made so that it does not look like a function call taking the
C expression used for the constraint as an argument. This is so as not
to confuse the reader or formatting checkers like `checkpatch.pl' and
follows previous practice.

With binutils 2.24 the attempt to switch with microMIPS mode to MIPS III
mode through .set mips3 results in *lots* of warnings like
{standard input}: Assembler messages:
{standard input}:397: Warning: the 64-bit MIPS architecture does not support the `smartmips' extension
during a kernel build. Fixed by using .set arch=r4000 instead.
This breaks support for building the kernel with binutils 2.13 which
was supported for 32 bit kernels only anyway and 2.14 which was a bad
vintage for MIPS anyway.

Now that Yosemite's gone we can move the MSP71xx code one level up.
