x86: remove the Voyager 32-bit subarch

Impact: remove unused/broken code

The Voyager subarch last built successfully on the v2.6.26 kernel
and has been stale since then and does not build on the v2.6.27,
v2.6.28 and v2.6.29-rc5 kernels.

No actual users beyond the maintainer reported this breakage.
Patches were sent and most of the fixes were accepted but the
discussion around how to do a few remaining issues cleanly
fizzled out with no resolution and the code remained broken.

In the v2.6.30 x86 tree development cycle 32-bit subarch support
has been reworked and removed - and the Voyager code, beyond the
build problems already known, needs serious and significant
changes and probably a rewrite to support it.

CONFIG_X86_VOYAGER has been marked BROKEN then. The maintainer has
been notified but no patches have been sent so far to fix it.

While all other subarchs have been converted to the new scheme,
voyager is still broken. We'd prefer to receive patches which
clean up the current situation in a constructive way, but even in
case of removal there is no obstacle to add that support back
after the issues have been sorted out in a mutually acceptable
fashion.

So remove this inactive code for now.

x86 setup: a20: early timeout for a nonexistent keyboard controller

When probing the keyboard controller to enable A20, if we get FF back
(which is *possible* as a valid status word, but is extremely
unlikely) then bail after much fewer iterations than we otherwise
would, and abort the attempt to access the KBC.

This hopefully should make it work a lot better for embedded platforms
which don't have a KBC and where the BIOS doesn't implement
INT 15h AX=2401h (and doesn't boot with A20 already enabled.)

If this works, it will be the one remaining use of CONFIG_X86_ELAN as
anything other than a processor type optimization option.
