Now that we have the drivers/staging/android/vsoc.c driver, are any of
the goldfish drivers needed anymore?  I can run a virtual android system
on my laptop using the vsoc driver only, no goldfish needed at all.

If not, and goldfish is still needed, what's the plans on getting this
code out of staging?  It's been living there for a while with no forward
progress or updates in a long time.

thanks,
