Revert "mei: virtio: virtualization frontend driver"
This reverts commit d162219. The device uses a VIRTIO device ID out of a not-for-production range. Releasing Linux using an ID out of this range will make it conflict with development setups. An official request to reserve an ID for an MEI device is yet to be submitted to the virtio TC, thus there's no chance it will be reserved and fixed in time before the next release. Once requested it usually takes 2-3 weeks to land in the spec, which means the device can be supported with the official ID in the next Linux version if contributors act quickly.
