HIPPI has not been relevant for over two decades. It was rapidly

Git history. Remove HIPPI support and the rrunner HIPPI driver,
and move the former maintainer to the CREDITS file. Keep the
include/uapi/linux/if_hippi.h header because it is used by the TUN
code, and to avoid breaking userspace, however unlikely that may be.

I like the idea of removing unused code, so +1 from my side.

But, as noted for another of your recent patches,
please use ./scripts/get_maintainer.pl this.patch to
fill out the CC list.
