[PATCH] uml: deprecate CONFIG_MODE_TT 

Deprecate TT mode in Kconfig so that users won't select it, update the
MODE_SKAS description (it was largely obsolete and misleadin) and btw describe
advantages for high memory usage with CONFIG_STATIC_LINK.

skas security and performance without needing to patch the host.

It is safe to say 'N' here; saying 'Y' may cause additional problems

in TT mode is strongly *NOT RECOMMENDED*.

Additionally, this option enables using higher memory spaces (up to

to best results for this.

This option controls whether skas (separate kernel address space)

Unless you have specific needs to use TT mode (which applies almost only
to developers), you should say Y here.
SKAS mode will make use of the SKAS3 patch if it is applied on the host
(and your UML will run in SKAS3 mode), but if no SKAS patch is applied
on the host it will run in SKAS0 mode, which is anyway faster than TT
mode.
