net: atm: remove the ambassador driver

The driver for ATM Ambassador devices spews build warnings on
microblaze. The virt_to_bus() calls discard the volatile keyword.
The right thing to do would be to migrate this driver to a modern
DMA API but it seems unlikely anyone is actually using it.
There had been no fixes or functional changes here since
the git era begun.

In fact it sounds like the FW loading was broken from 2008
'til 2012 - see commit fcdc90b0 ("atm: forever loop loading
ambassador firmware").

Let's remove this driver, there isn't much changing in the APIs,
if users come forward we can apologize and revert.

This is a driver for ATMizer based ATM card produced by Madge
Networks Ltd. Say Y (or M to compile as a module named ambassador)
here if you have one of these cards.

help
Somewhat useful debugging messages are available. The choice of
messages is controlled by a bitmap. This may be specified as a
module argument (kernel command line argument as well?), changed
dynamically using an ioctl (not yet) or changed by sending the
string "Dxxxx" to VCI 1023 (where x is a hex digit). See the file
<file:drivers/atm/ambassador.h> for the meanings of the bits in the
mask.
When active, these messages can have a significant impact on the
speed of the driver, and the size of your syslog files! When
inactive, they will have only a modest impact on performance.
