The attached patch adds MIPS dependency for dm9000 ethernet
controller. Indeed this controller is used by some embedded platforms
based on MIPS CPUs.

Is there any reason why we cannot enable this driver on all architectures?
It's moderately important for quality and maintainability reasons that it
be included in the x86 build, at least..

Actually there's a discussion about that. I previously sent a RFC
(subject is "[NET] Remove ARM dependency for dm9000 driver") for that.
Now some people are reacting so we should wait for the last words
before applying something.
