strip: move driver to staging

Move the strip ("Starmode Radio IP") driver to drivers/staging.  For
several years this driver has only seen API "bombing-run" changes, and
few people ever had the hardware.  This driver represents unnecessary
ongoing maintenance for no clear benefit.

This patch brought to you by the "hacking" session at the 2009 Kernel
Summit in Tokyo, Japan...

Say Y if you have a Metricom radio and intend to use Starmode Radio
IP. STRIP is a radio protocol developed for the MosquitoNet project
to send Internet traffic using Metricom radios. Metricom radios are
small, battery powered, 100kbit/sec packet radio transceivers, about
the size and weight of a cellular telephone. (You may also have heard
them called "Metricom modems" but we avoid the term "modem" because
it misleads many people into thinking that you can plug a Metricom
modem into a phone line and use it as a modem.)
You can use STRIP on any Linux machine with a serial port, although
it is obviously most useful for people with laptop computers. If you
think you might get a Metricom radio in the future, there is no harm
in saying Y to STRIP now, except that it makes the kernel a bit
bigger.
To compile this as a module, choose M here: the module will be
called strip.
