4.3 target deprecation patch part 1: c4x removal, whole-target deprecations

[Pompapathi V Gadad]

Hello Joseph S. Myers,
Thanks for reply. My individual assignment process with the FSF is 
complete. I have submitted patches for another target CR16 and it has 
been reviewed. However, it has not be committed to trunk yet.

OK. We will make necessary changes in the patches to include the removal 
of deprecation and post the results as soon as possible.

Thanks a lot,
Pompa
