drivers/net: delete old 8 bit ISA Racal ni5010 support. 



These cards were only available in 8bit format, and in addition
they only had AUI and BNC(10-Base2) interfaces (i.e. no RJ-45).

In fact, they are so rare, that an internet search on these old
cards almost comes up empty, unless the "Micom interlan" name
is used.

This puts them in the equivalent domain as the 3c501, so there
should be no strong opposition to the driver removal, as nobody
is seriously using 3.9+ with 8 bit ISA hardware.

In doing so, the whole "ethernet/racal" category becomes empty,
so we clean up the Makefile/Kconfig and subdir appropriately.

# Racal-Interlan device configuration

config NET_VENDOR_RACAL

	bool "Racal-Interlan (Micom) NI devices"

	default y

	depends on ISA

	---help---

	  If you have a network (Ethernet) card belonging to this class, such

	  as the NI5010, NI5210 or NI6210, say Y and read the Ethernet-HOWTO,

	  available from <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>.



	  Note that the answer to this question doesn't directly affect the

	  kernel: saying N will just cause the configurator to skip all

	  the questions about NI cards. If you say Y, you will be asked for

	  your specific card in the following questions.



if NET_VENDOR_RACAL



config NI5010

	tristate "NI5010 support (EXPERIMENTAL)"

	depends on ISA && EXPERIMENTAL && BROKEN_ON_SMP

	---help---

	  If you have a network (Ethernet) card of this type, say Y and read

	  the Ethernet-HOWTO, available from

	  <http://www.tldp.org/docs.html#howto>. Note that this is still

	  experimental code.



	  To compile this driver as a module, choose M here. The module

	  will be called ni5010.
