The gdth driver refers to a SCSI parallel, PCI-only HBA RAID adapter

acquired by Adaptec and superseded by the aacraid series of controllers.
The driver itself would require a major overhaul before any modifications
can be attempted, but seeing that it's unlikely to have any users left
it should rather be removed completely.

But it'll be up to mkp to decide what'll happen with this beast.
It has cropped up on virtually every patchset I've been working on, so I
really would like to get it out of the way.
I might even have some cards floating around in case the decision is to
keep it, but I've already found in testing the other drivers that
getting _disks_ will be a major pain.
Plus in the 10-odd years we (ie SUSE) didn't have a _single_ incident
involving this driver, which it typically a sure sign that no-one is
using it.
Martin?
Cheers,
Hannes
