ioremap_uc() is only meaningful on old x86-32 systems with the PAT
extension, and on ia64 with its slightly unconventional ioremap()
behavior. So remove the ioremap_uc() definition in architecutures
other than x86 and ia64. These architectures all have asm-generic/io.h
included and will have the default ioremap_uc() definition which
returns NULL.

This changes the existing behaviour, while no need to worry about
any breakage because in the only callsite of ioremap_uc(), code
has been adjusted to eliminate the impact. Please see
atyfb_setup_generic() of drivers/video/fbdev/aty/atyfb_base.c.

If any new invocation of ioremap_uc() need be added, please consider
using ioremap() intead or adding a ARCH specific version if necessary.

Crap can work. Given enough thrust pigs will fly, but it's not necessarily a
good idea.                                                [ RFC1925, 2.3 ]
