Log:
vxge(4): deprecation notice
This hardware isn't totally ancient, about equal to a mxge(4) or mlx4en(4),
but the company was sold to Exar which then promptly exited the Ethernet
business so the card was commercially available for under 2 years. On deep
search, the only usage of these cards I found was by the importing of the
driver. There are code quality issues identified by Brooks and Hiren and
no visible use nor maintainership that warrant removal from FreeBSD 12.0.
