Remove long-unmaintained ftape driver subsystem.
It's bitrotten, long unmaintained, long hidden under BROKEN_ON_SMP,
etc. As scheduled in feature-removal-schedule.txt, and ack'd several
times on lkml.

| 3 | |||
| 4 | This file describes some issues involved when using the "ftape" | ||
| 5 | floppy tape device driver that comes with the Linux kernel. | ||
| 6 | |||
| 7 | ftape has a home page at | ||
| 8 | |||
| 9 | http://ftape.dot-heine.de/ | ||
| 10 | |||
| 11 | which contains further information about ftape. Please cross check | ||
| 12 | this WWW address against the address given (if any) in the MAINTAINERS | ||
| 13 | file located in the top level directory of the Linux kernel source | ||
| 14 | tree. | ||
| 15 | |||
| 16 | NOTE: This is an unmaintained set of drivers, and it is not guaranteed to work. | ||
| 17 | If you are interested in taking over maintenance, contact Claus-Justus Heine | ||
| 18 | <ch@dot-heine.de>, the former maintainer. | ||

| 50 | Unluckily, the ftape-HOWTO is out of date. This really needs to be | ||
