[PATCH] Cleanup hardware detection code

Reported by: echotangoecho Owned by:
Priority: Should Have Milestone: Work In Progress
Component: Core engine Keywords: patch
Cc: Patch: ​Phab:D86

Description

A lot of the code we use for hardware detection and other hardware/os specific code (which mostly resides in lib/sysdep) is unused or unneeded, and it should be cleaned up. Most of this code is also very dated, and problems with new hardware or other strange hardware might lead to crashes, as can be seen in ​this forum topic.
