[PATCH 2/2] vfio/pci: Remove console drivers

That comes from the aperture helpers being part of drm ...

... but if the long-term plan is to clean that up properly anyway I
don't see the point in bike shedding too much on the details of some
temporary solution.

Also pointless churn because you'll have the very same churn again when
moving the aperture helpers out of drm.

take care,
