Anyone screaming loudly if we remove them?

 - AMD53C974 is broken and doesn't even compile, all supported hardware is
   handled by the mainted tmscsim driver.
 - mac_NCR5380 isn't even referenced in the build and hasn't been at
   least since 2.4

Hehe, AMD makes/made more chips then just CPUs.  This is a scsi
controller, but I haven't seen people using it on non-x86 machines yet,
but it's just a simple PCI card or sometimes even an onboard chip IIRC.

Question answered?

I always had problems with the AMD53C974 driver even back in 2.2.x days. 
  On several old HP XU/90 and XU/120 Vectras I had to specify the 
TMSCSIM driver to get SCSI to work.....
