I removed them because there is currently a push to reduce the size of
the ARM tree. The ISI code has been there since 2008 and the mAgic
device code since 2009 without drivers. The ISI device at least is
supported on more than one variant, but only had code present for the
AT91SAM9263.

I think it is better to remove them now, and then if/when drivers get
added the support code can be added to the common framework.
