I don't mind either way, but some other people are very much opposed to
littering code with #if 0'd sections.  So, how do to determine what is
right in each situation? :-)

In this particular case, the code has never been used, even when the
file was originally committed, so I would say the chances of it ever
being used again are near zero.  (And even after deletion, the old
versions are available in our repository.)

For more "active" drivers, I will certainly just use #if, or simply turn
off the -Wunused-function warning.  And hope the code gets used
eventually. :-)
