Remove the pseries scanlog driver. This code supports functions from Power4-era servers that are not present on targets currently supported by arch/powerpc. System manuals from this time have this description: Scan Dump data is a set of chip data that the service processor gathers after a system malfunction. It consists of chip scan rings, chip trace arrays, and Scan COM (SCOM) registers. This data is stored in the scan-log partition of the system’s Nonvolatile Random Access Memory (NVRAM). PowerVM partition firmware development doesn't recognize the associated function call or property, and they don't see any references to them in their codebase. It seems to have been specific to non-virtualized pseries.
Just bumping this to see if there are any objections.
