EDAC/r82600: Remove this obsolete driver
This driver supports the Radisys 82600 embedded chipset, which was used with
Pentium III-era CPUs. It is highly unlikely that it is still used. Besides
its own documentation, the only information I was able to find about the
R82600, after looking through many pages of Google results, was that it was
used in a Nokia 2G GSM base station.
The original author said:
"This was after Bluesmoke (watch was out-of-tree), and was pay of the first
set of in tree edac drivers (a fresh design as far as I remember).
This particular driver did apparently get used by Akamai quite heavily and
widely but all ancient history now. The Radisys r82600 edac driver
r82600_edac.c was closely related hardware from the same era, and can probably
go too (although being embedded hardware, it's possible its production
lifespan was considerably longer).
