Re: [PATCH 5/6] ibmvscsi: Remove unsupported host config MAD and sysfs interface

A VIOSRP_HOST_CONFIG_TYPE management datagram (MAD) has existed in
the code for some time. From what information I've gathered from
Brian King this was likely implemented on the host side in a SLES 9
based VIOS, which is no longer supported anywhere. Further, it is
not defined in PAPR or supported by any AIX based VIOS.

Treating as bit rot and removing the sysfs interface and associated
host config code accordingly.

Doesn't removing a sysfs interface potentially break userspace code?
