Pass 1 parts had a number of significant erratas and were only available
in small numbers and under NDA. Full support also required the use of a
special toolchain that kept branches properly aligned. These workarounds
were never upstreamed and the only toolchain known to have them is
Montavista's GCC 3.0-based toolchain which completly obsoleted if not
useless these days.
So now that automated testing has tripped over the user of the
-msb1-pass1-workarounds option, rather than fixing it remove support for
pass 1 parts.
Probably nobody will notice. I seem to own the last know pass 1 board
and I haven't noticed another one in the wild in the past decade, at
least.

Having received another series of whitespace patches I decided to do this
once and for all rather than dealing with this kind of patches trickling
in forever.

Previously it was unconditionally used on all Sibyte family SOCs. The
M3 bug has to be handled in the TLB exception handler which is extremly
performance sensitive, so this modification is expected to deliver around
2-3% performance improvment. This is important as required changes to the
M3 workaround will make it more costly.
