I forgot what's stopping us from removing the rest of that driver ;-)
Since we can only build it on alpha and mips/loongson64 these
days, is there anything that this driver does that the normal
one doesn't? If it's just a question of testing, we could probably
just move it to staging and see if anyone notices a difference.
