[PATCH v2 1/6] ia64: Remove support

2023-05-11 Thread Ard Biesheuvel
Itanium IA-64 support is obsolete, and implements its own flavor of EFI boot that deviates from other architectures. Given that IA64 is unused and unmaintained, it makes no sense to pretend that the EFI changes we are making are tested or supported on IA64, so let's just get rid of it.
