Introduce CONFIG_RH_DISABLE_DEPRECATED

O-Subject: [ARK INTERNAL PATCHv2 1/4] [redhat] Introduce CONFIG_RH_DISABLE_DEPRECATED
Bugzilla:
RH-Acked-by: Don Zickus <dzickus@redhat.com>

For many drivers that RHEL doesn't want to support, we've typically deleted
PCI ids from the tree. This precludes those drivers from being used at all
which is fine for RHEL but a problem if we want to use a similar source base
for Fedora. Instead of just deleting IDs, introduce a config
CONFIG_RH_DISABLE_DEPRECATED. This way RHEL can remove IDs while still allowing
kernels to be built with the option off from the same source.

Red Hat may choose to deprecate certain features in its kernels.
Enable this option to remove support for hardware that is no
longer supported.
Unless you want a restricted kernel, say N here.
