The VME subsystem graduated from staging into a top-level subsystem in
2012, with commit db3b9e990e75 ("Staging: VME: move VME drivers out of
staging") stating:
The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API
questions they are still working through, that should happen soon,
hopefully.
However, this never happened: maintenance of drivers/vme effectively
stopped in 2017, with all subsequent changes being treewide cleanups.
No hardware driver remains in staging, only the limited user-level
access, and I just removed one of the two bridge drivers and the only
remaining board.
drivers/staging/vme/devices/ was recently moved to
drivers/staging/vme_user/, but as the vme_user driver is the only one
remaining for this subsystem, it is easier to just move the remaining
three source files into this directory rather than keeping the original
hierarchy.

This is one of four remaining drivers using the ancient
virt_to_bus() interface instead of the dma-mapping interface,
making it incompatible with most modern machines.
As nobody has cleaned this up, there is a high chance that this
driver has no actual users. The chip was introduced in 1997 and
only supports 32-bit legacy PCI. It was replaced by TSI148 in
2004, but that chip has since been discontinued, while a version
of the older Universe II remains in production after 25 years.
The vme_vmivme7805 board uses Universe-II, so this also gets
removed in the process, but PCI add-on cards based on TSI148
can still work in theory.
If there are users of the Universe-II driver after all, it is
of course possible to revert this patch and fix it to use the
dma-mapping interface like the tsi148 driver does.

This patch introduces a fake VME bridge driver. This driver currently
emulates a subset of the VME bridge functionality. This allows some VME
subsystem development and even some VME device driver development to be
carried out in the absence of a proper VME bus.

This moves the VME core, VME board drivers, and VME bridge drivers out
of the drivers/staging/vme/ area to drivers/vme/.
The VME device drivers have not moved out yet due to some API questions
they are still working through, that should happen soon, hopefully.
