The HAL driver is not used by any supported Linux, the only possible

Last time we asked, Roman said he at least tested HAL on FreeBSD to see
if basics were working, so I think we want his agreement before deciding
to remove this

HAL was deprecated on FreeBSD as well and the current supported device
manager is *devd*. If there will be need to implement node device
support on FreeBSD we can add a new DEVD driver or we can use
libudev-devd project to support UDEV driver on FreeBSD.
