[PATCH] via82cxxx IDE: remove /proc/via entry
 
This entry adds needless complication to the driver as it requires the use of
global variables to be passed into via_get_info(), making things quite ugly
when we try and make this driver support multiple controllers simultaneously.

This patch removes /proc/via for simplicity.
