David Hildenbrand 839195352d mm/shuffle: remove dynamic reconfiguration
Commit e900a918b0 ("mm: shuffle initial free memory to improve
memory-side-cache utilization") promised "autodetection of a
memory-side-cache (to be added in a follow-on patch)" over a year ago.

The original series included patches [1], however, they were dropped
during review [2] to be followed-up later.

Due to lack of platforms that publish an HMAT, autodetection is currently
not implemented.  However, manual activation is actively used [3].  Let's
simplify for now and re-add when really (ever?) needed.

README

Linux kernel
============

There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.

In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``.  The formatted documentation can also be read online at:

    https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/

There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.

Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
