This entry adds needless complication to the driver as it requires the use of
global variables to be passed into via_get_info(), making things quite ugly
when we try and make this driver support multiple controllers simultaneously.

This patch removes /proc/via for simplicity.

Initial git repository build. I'm not bothering with the full history,
even though we have it. We can create a separate "historical" git
archive of that later if we want to, and in the meantime it's about
3.2GB when imported into git - space that would just make the early
git days unnecessarily complicated, when we don't have a lot of good
infrastructure for it.

Let it rip!
