Change subject: util: Delete the ccdrv kernel module.
......................................................................

util: Delete the ccdrv kernel module.

This very small kernel module seems to be intended to measure the access
time to device registers when running in a linux kernel. It mentions
kernel version 2.6.x and so is fairly old and may not work with modern
kernels.

While there is probably some utility (no pun intended) to having a
driver like that and that sort of measurement capability, the usefulness
is probably not huge compared to its small but non-zero maintenance
burden. It seems like it's not something that gets active attention
given it's revision history, and is probably just taking up space these days.

-This driver will read the address you point it to [count] times and
-print the results to the systemlog.
-
-To build the driver (Linux 2.6.X only) execute:
-make -C /path/to/linux-2.6.X/ SUBDIRS=$PWD modules
-
-
-Insmodding the kernel module without options will print
-the device addresses of eth0 and eth1 if they exist.
-
-Insmodding the kernel module with the options:
-dataAddr=0xXXXXXXXXX and count=XXXXX
-
-will read a long at addr dataAddr count times and return.
-
-Between runs you need to rmmod the module from the kernel.
