bootparam.7: Remove crufty "ISDN drivers" options
[Part of a general change to remove cruft from this page.] Much of the detail on device-driver specifics in this page dates from the 20th century. (The last major update to this page was in man-pages-1.14!) It's hugely out of date now (many of these devices disappeared from the kernel years ago.) Arguably, this kind of detail should never have been placed in a man page to begin with, since devices come and go. Remove such text, and where appropriate and possible add pointers to files in the kernel Documentation/ directory. Signed-off-by: Michael Kerrisk <mtk.manpages@gmail.com>
