We deprecated the support for the 'r4k' machine for the 5.0
release
(commit d32dc61421), which means that our deprecation policy allows
us to drop it in release 5.2. Remove the code.
To repeat the rationale from the deprecation note:
- this virtual machine has no specification
- the Linux kernel dropped support for it 10 years ago
Users are recommended to use the Malta board instead.

This machine type is very old and unmaintained. Users should use the ``malta``
machine type instead.
This is incorrect, I have to move it from "Deprecated features"
to "Recently removed features" section.
