powerpc/cell: Remove axonram driver
The QS21/22 IBM Cell blades had a southbridge chip called Axon. This could have DDR DIMMs attached to it, though they were not directly usable as RAM, instead they could be used as some sort of buffer, if applications were written specifically to use the block device provided by the driver. Although the driver supposedly had direct access support, it was apparently never tested (see commit 91117a20245b ("axonram: Fix bug in direct_access")). These machines have not been available for over 5 years, and were never widely in use. It seems highly unlikely anyone is using this driver. In general we're happy to leave old drivers in the tree, but because DAX is involved this driver is caught up in the ongoing work in that area, but none of the DAX folks are able to test it. So remove the driver, if any one *is* using it, we'll be happy to put it back. Signed-off-by: Michael Ellerman <mpe@ellerman.id.au>
