highly unlikely that this driver is still being used. Remove the

 How do you know it's not used? 

Hard to prove a negative and whatnot.

We deleted the vxge which I think(?) was for a newer version of this HW
3+ years ago and nobody complained. 

What's the gain from removing a driver unless say it's broken and
does not build?

People keep sending cleanups and fixes for these old drivers.
It takes time to review that stuff.
