arlan: move driver to staging

Move the arlan driver to drivers/staging.  This is another pre-802.11
driver that has seen virtually no non-API-fixup activity in years, and
for which no active hardware is likely to still exist.  This driver
represents unnecessary ongoing maintenance for no clear benefit.

This patch brought to you by the "hacking" session at the 2009 Kernel
Summit in Tokyo, Japan...

lets you choose drivers.

Aironet makes Arlan, a class of wireless LAN adapters. These use the
www.Telxon.com chip, which is also used on several similar cards.
This driver is tested on the 655 and IC2200 series cards. Look at
<http://www.ylenurme.ee/~elmer/655/> for the latest information.
The driver is built as two modules, arlan and arlan-proc. The latter
is the /proc interface and is not needed most of time.
On some computers the card ends up in non-valid state after some
time. Use a ping-reset script to clear it.
