strip: move driver to staging 



Move the strip ("Starmode Radio IP") driver to drivers/staging.  For
several years this driver has only seen API "bombing-run" changes, and
few people ever had the hardware.  This driver represents unnecessary
ongoing maintenance for no clear benefit.

This patch brought to you by the "hacking" session at the 2009 Kernel
Summit in Tokyo, Japan...

	  small, battery powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about

	  the size and weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard

	  them called "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because

	  it misleads many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom

	  modem into a phone line and use it as a modem.)



	  You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although

	  it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you

	  think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm

	  in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit

	  bigger.



	  To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
