    eth: remove neterion/vxge · f05643a0

    The last meaningful change to this driver was made by Jon in 2011.
    As much as we'd like to believe that this is because the code is
    perfect the chances are nobody is using this hardware.
    
    Because of the size of this driver there is a nontrivial maintenance
    cost to keeping this code around, in the last 2 years we're averaging
    more than 1 change a month. Some of which require nontrivial review
    effort, see commit 877fe9d4 ("Revert "drivers/net/ethernet/neterion/vxge:
    Fix a use-after-free bug in vxge-main.c"") for example.
    
    Let's try to remove this driver. In general, IMHO, we need to
    establish a clear path for shedding dead code. It will be hard
    to unless we have some experience trying to delete stuff.
