The phyp driver was added in 2009 and does not appear to have had
any
real feature change since 2011. There's virtually no evidence online
of users actually using it. IMO it's time to kill it.

I raised this in 3.5 years ago:
https://www.redhat.com/archives/libvir-list/2016-April/msg01060.html
Not much on phyp/ side has changed since then, except dozens of dev
patches transitioning the code forward.
That mail also mentions xenapi and hyperv. hyperv saw signs of life
afterwards and is still around. xenapi has been removed, along with uml.
Considering the amount of code transitions we are currently undergoing
(gnulib, glib, memory auto cleanup, etc), phyp/ will probably have an
uptick of dev energy in the medium term. Let's bite the bullet and
remove it!
