This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it. And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.
However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next. We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.
No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

Macintosh CS89x0 based ethernet cards use a Crystal Semiconductor (Now
Cirrus Logic) CS89x0 chip, so the mac89x0 driver should be in
drivers/net/ethernet/cirrus instead of drivers/net/ethernet/apple.
This also fixes a build problem, as the driver needs a header file from the
cirrus directory:
drivers/net/ethernet/apple/mac89x0.c:107:20: error: cs89x0.h: No such file or directory

The cs89x0 driver was initial placed in the apple/ when it
should have been placed in the cirrus/. This resolves the
issue by moving the dirver and fixing up the respective
Kconfig(s) and Makefile(s).
Thanks to Sascha for reporting the issue.
-v2 Fix a config error that was introduced with v1 by removing
the dependency on MACE for NET_VENDOR_APPLE.

Based on finds for Stephen Rothwell, where current defconfig's
enable a ethernet driver and it is not compiled due to the newly
added NET_VENDOR_* component of Kconfig.
This patch enables all the "new" Kconfig options so that current
defconfig's will continue to compile the expected drivers. In
addition, by enabling all the new Kconfig options does not add
any un-expected options.

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