Move the Realtek drivers into drivers/net/ethernet/realtek/ and make
the necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.

Does it really make sense to move the pci-skeleton driver?  Although it
includes hardware access specific to RTL8139 chips, that's not really
the point of it.

Indeed.  pci-skeleton was simply intended to illustrate a clean driver 
for a simple DMA-driven NIC.

Honestly, it's so outdated now that deletion would be a better course.

If it would be useful, should we take the time to update pci-skeleton
driver?  Or will this be a maintenance issue going forward and deletion
is the best answer?
