Ok, I did a quick hack-job to remove that disgusting
install_special_mapping() legacy case.

With this, the old "install_special_mapping()" mess no longer exists,
but I haven't even attempted to compile the result, because I don't
have cross-compile environments for any of the affected architectures.

Except UML. I did at least build it there, but it's not like I tested it.

Adding architecture maintainers and more architecture lists to the
participants. It would be good to actually get this patch tested.

NOTE! This patch is against my current tree, not the linux-next
changes. But it should entirely remove the case that caused problems
in linux-next.
