cobalt/powerpc: drop support for unlocked context switch

This feature never actually brought any measurable gain on powerpc
platforms, compared to the complexity of its implementation in the
pipeline. It was primarily aimed at reducing latency for interrupt
handlers when costly cache and TLB flushes are required to switch
context, at the expense of increasing the scheduling latency.  It
turned out to be counter-productive on common powerpc platforms, with
efficient MMUs.

This feature has been default off for a while now, and 4.1+ pipelines
won't provide support for it anymore. Time to drop support from
Xenomai too.

[Xenomai-git] Philippe Gerum : cobalt/powerpc: drop support for unlocked context switch

cobalt/powerpc: drop support for unlocked context switch

This feature never actually brought any measurable gain on powerpc
platforms, compared to the complexity of its implementation in the
pipeline. It was primarily aimed at reducing latency for interrupt
handlers when costly cache and TLB flushes are required to switch
context, at the expense of increasing the scheduling latency.  It
turned out to be counter-productive on common powerpc platforms, with
efficient MMUs.

This feature has been default off for a while now, and 4.1+ pipelines
won't provide support for it anymore. Time to drop support from
Xenomai too.
