Gary Hade 38f7aa23c4 matroxfb: remove incorrect Matrox G200eV support 
Remove incorrect Matrox G200eV support that was previously added by
commit e3a1938805

A serious issue with the incorrect G200eV support that reproduces on the
Matrox G200eV equipped IBM x3650 M2 is the total lack of text (login
banner, login prompt, etc) on the console when X is not running and
total lack of text on all of the virtual consoles after X is started.

Any concerns that the incorrect code (upstream since October 2008) has
been successfully used on non-IBM G200eV equipped system(s) appear to be
unwarranted.  In addition to the serious/non-intermittent nature of
issues that have been spotted on IBM systems, complete removal of the
incorrect code is clearly supported by the following Matrox (Yannick
Heneault) provided input:
 "It impossible that this patch should have work on a system.
 The patch only declare the G200eV as a regular G200 which is
 not case. Many registers are different, including at least the
 PLL programming sequence. If the G200eV is programmed like a
 regular G200, it will not display anything."

v1 - Initial patch that removed the incorrect code for _all_
     G200eV equipped systems.
v2 - Darrick Wong provided patch that blacklisted the incorrect
     code on G200eV equipped IBM systems leaving it enabled on
     all G200eV equipped non-IBM systems.
v3 - Same code changes included with v1 plus additional
     justification for complete removal of the incorrect code.
