This patch removes net drivers that:
- had already been marked as BROKEN in 2.6.0 three years ago and
- are still marked as BROKEN.
These are the following drivers:
- MAC89x0
- ATARI_BIONET
- ATARI_PAMSNET
- SKMC
Drivers that had been marked as BROKEN for such a long time seem to be
unlikely to be revived in the forseeable future.
But if anyone wants to ever revive any of these drivers, the code is
still present in the older kernel releases.

I still have a patch lying around for this one:
http://linux-m68k-cvs.ubb.ca/~geert/linux-m68k-2.6.x-merging/POSTPONED/357-mac89x0.diff
I don't remember 100% why I put it in my POSTPONED queue. Maybe because it was
rejected upstream?
If it's OK (it compiles fine with 2.6.19-rc5), please tell me, and I'll
resubmit it.
Gr{oetje,eeting}s,
Geert

Can somebody else please check this, if possible? I won't have time this
week.
