Remove this underutilized feature. Despite the fact that a lot of configs
specifies a arbitrary "variant", only the xscale target actually defines
any.
In the case of xscale, the use of -variant is dubious since
1) it's used as a redundant irlen specifier,
2) it carries a comment that it doesn't really need it and
3) only two xscale configs even specify it.
If there's a future target that needs a variant set, a target specific
option could be added when needed.

Drop useless double-space occurences, drop trailing whitespace, and fix
some other minor whitespace-related issues.

The semantics of "-work-area-virt 0" (or phys) changed with
the patch to require specifying physical or virtrual work
area addresses. Specifying zero was previously a NOP. Now
it means that address zero is valid.
This patch addresses three related issues:
- MMU-less processors should never specify work-area-virt;
remove those specifications. Such processors include
ARM7TDMI, Cortex-M3, and ARM966.
- MMU-equipped processors *can* specify work-area-virt...
but zero won't be appropriate, except in mischievous
contexts (which hide null pointer exceptions).
Remove those specs from those processors too. If any of
those mappings is valid, someone will need to submit a
patch adding it ... along with a comment saying what OS
provides the mapping, and in which context. Example,
say "works with Linux 2.6.30+, in kernel mode". (Note
that ARM Linux doesn't map kernel memory to zero ...)
- Clarify docs on that "-virt" and other work area stuff.
Seems to me work-area-virt is quite problematic; not every
operating system provides such static mappings; if they do,
they're not in every MMU context...
