   bmac/mace/macmace/mac89x0/cs89x0: Move the Macintosh (Apple) drivers

   Move the Apple drivers into driver/net/ethernet/apple/ and make the
   necessary Kconfig and Makefile changes.

This commit moves drivers/net/cs89x0.[ch] to drivers/net/ethernet/apple/.

This is wrong. The cs89x0 driver is a general ISA driver and is also
used on some embedded boards. This patch should only move drivers/net/mac89x0.c
which basically is a driver for the same device but used on Macintosh.

I think it should go to drivers/net/ethernet/cirrus instead.

Thanks Sasha, I am looking into the past emails on this to see if
there was a suggested reason that in be where it is at.  I do agree
with you that it looks like it should be in
/drivers/net/ethernet/cirrus/, before making a patch to move it, I
want to double check all the previous emails I received to ensure that
there was a logic reason for placing it where it is.
