IB/ehca: Deprecate driver, move to staging, schedule deletion
The ehca driver is only supported on IBM machines with a custom EBus. As they have opted to build their newer machines using more industry standard technology and haven't really been pushing EBus capable machines for a while, this driver can now safely be moved to the staging area and scheduled for eventual removal. This plan was brought to IBM's attention and received their sign-off.
