[RFC PATCH] Remove Intel compiler support

From: Masahiro Yamada
Date: Mon Oct 10 2022 - 23:20:11 EST


include/linux/compiler-intel.h had no update in the past 3 years.

We often forget about the third C compiler to build the kernel.

For example, commit a0a12c3ed057 ("asm goto: eradicate CC_HAS_ASM_GOTO")
only mentioned GCC and Clang.

init/Kconfig defines CC_IS_GCC and CC_IS_CLANG but not CC_IS_ICC,
and nobody has reported any issue.

I guess the Intel Compiler support is broken, and nobody is caring
about it.

Signed-off-by: Masahiro Yamada <masahiroy@xxxxxxxxxx>

I am sending this to Linus and the x86 maintainers with RFC.
If somebody is still using ICC, please speak up!
