cpqarray: remove it from the kernel 



We disabled the ability to enable this driver back in October of 2013,
we should be able to safely remove it at this point. The initial goal
was to remove it in 3.15, so now is the time.

This driver is for Compaq's SMART2 Intelligent Disk Array Controllers.



Supported Cards:

----------------



This driver is known to work with the following cards:



	* SMART (EISA)

	* SMART-2/E (EISA)

	* SMART-2/P

	* SMART-2DH

	* SMART-2SL

	* SMART-221

	* SMART-3100ES

	* SMART-3200

	* Integrated Smart Array Controller

	* SA 4200

	* SA 4250ES

	* SA 431

	* RAID LC2 Controller



It should also work with some really old Disk array adapters, but I am

unable to test against these cards:



	* IDA

	* IDA-2

	* IAES





EISA Controllers:

-----------------



If you want to use an EISA controller you'll have to supply some

modprobe/lilo parameters.  If the driver is compiled into the kernel, must

give it the controller's IO port address at boot time (it is not

necessary to specify the IRQ).  For example, if you had two SMART-2/E

controllers, in EISA slots 1 and 2 you'd give it a boot argument like

this:



	smart2=0x1000,0x2000



If you were loading the driver as a module, you'd give load it like this:



	modprobe cpqarray eisa=0x1000,0x2000



You can use EISA and PCI adapters at the same time.





Device Naming:

--------------



You need some entries in /dev for the ida device.  MAKEDEV in the /dev

directory can make device nodes for you automatically.  The device setup is

as follows:



Major numbers:

	72	ida0

	73	ida1

	74	ida2

	75	ida3

	76	ida4

	77	ida5

	78	ida6

	79	ida7



Minor numbers:

        b7 b6 b5 b4 b3 b2 b1 b0

        |----+----| |----+----|

             |           |

             |           +-------- Partition ID (0=wholedev, 1-15 partition)

             |

             +-------------------- Logical Volume number



The device naming scheme is:

/dev/ida/c0d0		Controller 0, disk 0, whole device

/dev/ida/c0d0p1		Controller 0, disk 0, partition 1

/dev/ida/c0d0p2		Controller 0, disk 0, partition 2

/dev/ida/c0d0p3		Controller 0, disk 0, partition 3



/dev/ida/c1d1		Controller 1, disk 1, whole device

/dev/ida/c1d1p1		Controller 1, disk 1, partition 1

/dev/ida/c1d1p2		Controller 1, disk 1, partition 2

/dev/ida/c1d1p3		Controller 1, disk 1, partition 3
