The ehca driver is only supported on IBM machines with a custom EBus.
As they have opted to build their newer machines using more industry
standard technology and haven't really been pushing EBus capable
machines for a while, this driver can now safely be moved to the
staging area and scheduled for eventual removal. This plan was brought
to IBM's attention and received their sign-off.

The HW hasn't been sold since 2005, and the SW has definite bit rot.
Its time to remove it. So move it to staging for a few releases and
then remove it after that.

It is now time for the ipath driver to begin to be phased out of the kernel.
This patch moves the ipath driver from the Infiniband sub tree to the staging
area where it will remain until the code is removed from the kernel in a few
releases.

It is not possible to build only the drivers/infiniband/hw/ (or ulp/)
subdirectory with command such as:
$ make ARCH=x86_64 O=./obj-x86_64/ drivers/infiniband/hw/
This fails with following error messages:
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `all'.
make[2]: Nothing to be done for `relocs'.

This patch creates a Makefile in hw/ and ulp/ and moves each
corresponding parts of drivers/infiniband/Makefile in the new
Makefiles.
It should not break build except if some hw/ drivers or ulp/ were
allowed previously to be built while CONFIG_INFINIBAND is set to 'n',
but according to drivers/infiniband/Kconfig, it's not possible. So it
should be safe to apply.
