Subject: [PATCH] Doc: MODULE_SUPPORTED_DEVICE is not implemented

The MODULE_SUPPORTED_DEVICE macro is documented as
    Not Yet Implemented

for over a decade now. It will clearly never be implemented. Remove a
reference to it from a DocBook template.

Module "classes"? I removed that too.

Running "make xmldocs" always ends with
    make[1]: *** No rule to make target `xmldocs'.  Stop.
    make: *** [xmldocs] Error 2

for me. But writing-an-alsa-driver.xml was generated just fine, so that
must be something unrelated.
