b43: Remove PIO support
Remove b43 PIO support. DMA works well on all supported devices. There's no reason to use PIO. Additionally, new devices don't support PIO in hardware anymore. b43 PIO support is dead and unused code. After applying this patch please do git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.h git rm drivers/net/wireless/b43/pio.c to remove the main PIO support code.

104 Include both, Direct Memory Access (DMA) and Programmed I/O (PIO)
105 data transfer modes.
106 The actually used mode is selectable through the module
107 parameter "pio". If the module parameter is pio=0, DMA is used.
108 Otherwise PIO is used. DMA is default.

124 This reduces the size of the driver module, by omitting the DMA code.
125 Please note that PIO transfers are slow (compared to DMA).
126
127 Also note that not all devices of the 43xx series support PIO.
128 The 4306 (Apple Airport Extreme and others) supports PIO, while
129 the 4318 is known to _not_ support PIO.
130
131 Only use PIO, if DMA does not work for you.
