The i82443bxgx_edac driver was added more than one year ago, but after
only 3 seconds in Linus' tree it got a dependency on BROKEN with Andrew

It will claim the PCI devices from under intel_agp.ko's feet.
Greg is brewing some fix for that.

Since noone seems to care enough about this driver to get it working we
can as well remove it.

This driver does work as long as it's not used concurrently with
intel-agp, and I know of at least one user of it (who has been locally
diking out the dependency on BROKEN).

With the dependency on BROKEN it might stay at having one user...

Is anyone going to fix it proerly?

Or should we work around the problem with a dependency on AGP_INTEL=n?
