alpha: drop pre-EV56 support

All EV4 machines are already gone, and the remaining EV5 based machines
all support the slightly more modern EV56 generation as well.
Debian only supports EV56 and later.

Drop both of these and build kernels optimized for EV56 and higher
when the "generic" options is selected, tuning for an out-of-order
EV6 pipeline, same as Debian userspace.

Since this was the only supported architecture without 8-bit and
16-bit stores, common kernel code no longer has to worry about
aligning struct members, and existing workarounds from the block
and tty layers can be removed.

The alpha memory management code no longer needs an abstraction
for the differences between EV4 and EV5+.
