If there is going to be more of these, it is kind of nice to
have in the commit header a reference to the commit when the
original user(s) went away.
In this case, it was:

myri_sbus: remove driver
Remove the myri_sbus driver. Why?
* There is no possibility of ethernet mode on this adapter, so it's
Myrinet only.
* It won't inter-op with modern versions of Myrinet, and thus can only
work with legacy adapters.
* There are no in-kernel Linux drivers for the PCI version of this
adapter, so it only can work on ~15 year old Sun hardware.
It's long in the tooth, let's take it to the knackers.
