This patch contains the overdue removal of the eepro100 driver.

Signed-off-by: Adrian Bunk <redacted>

The hardware supported by this driver is still in use, thanks. It's 
probably easier to leave the eepro100 driver in than find anyone who 
wants to investigate why the other driver (e100? from memory) doesn't 
work with some cards. As I recall this was suggested over a year ago and 
it was decided to leave it in, all of the reasons for doing so still 
seem valid. There really doesn't seem to be a benefit, it's not like 
people are working night and day to support new cards for this chip.

please see the thread "Re: [PATCH] fix e100 rx path on ARM (was [PATCH] e100 rx: 
or s and el bits)" which is discussing a fix for this issue and currently being 
worked.

eepro100 will *still* be removed once e100 is fixed to support those devices.

Moreover, we now also have a fix for the e100 IPMI issues on some tyan boards 
(patch coming this week!). That hopefully solves all e100 issues that are still 
open.
