The NS8390 chip was essentially the 1st widespread PC ethernet
chip, starting its life on 8 bit ISA cards in the late 1980s.
Even with better technologies available (bus mastering etc)
the 8390 managed to get used on a few rare EISA cards in the
early to mid 1990s.
The EISA bus in the x86 world was largely confined to systems
ranging from 486 to 586 (essentially 200MHz or lower, and less
than 100MB RAM) -- i.e. machines unlikely to be still in service,
and even less likely to be running a 3.9+ kernel.
On top of that, only one of the five really ever was considered
non-experimental; the smc-ultra32 was the one -- since it was
largely just an EISA version of the popular smc-ultra ISA card.
All the others had such a tiny user base that they simply never
could be considered anything more than experimental.

We threw away the microchannel support, but the removal wasn't
completely trivial since there was namespace overlap with the
machine check support, and hence some orphaned dependencies
survived the deletion. This attempts to sweep those up and
send them to the bit-bucket.

A number of older ColdFire CPU based boards use NS8390 based network
controllers. Most use the Davicom 9008F or the UMC 9008F. This driver
provides the support code to get these devices working on these platforms.
Generally the NS8390 based eth device is direct connected via the general
purpose bus of the ColdFire CPU. So its addressing and interrupt setup is
fixed on each of the different platforms (classic platform setup).
This driver is based on the other drivers/net/ethernet/8390 drivers, and
includes the lib8390.c code. It uses the existing definitions of the
board NS8390 device addresses, interrupts and access types from the
arch/m68k/include/asm/mcf8390.h, but moves the IO access functions into
the driver code and out of that header.

The support for CONFIG_MCA is being removed, since the 20
year old hardware simply isn't capable of meeting today's
software demands on CPU and memory resources.
This commit removes any MCA specific net drivers, and removes
any MCA specific probe/support code from drivers that were
doing a dual ISA/MCA role.

The ax88796 driver uses the CRC32 functions, so make sure that
they are actually enabled.

Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's
enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly
added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig.
This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current
defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers. In
addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add
any un-expected options.

Move the National Semi-conductor drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/natsemi/
and make the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes. Also moved the 8390
(National Semi-conductor) devices as a sub-menu of National Semi-conductor
devices.
- moved the ibmlana driver as well into this directory since it is a
"SONIC" driver

Moves the SMC (SMSC) drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/smsc/ and the

of NET_VENDOR_SMC Kconfig tag for the 8390 based drivers.
