Subject: [PATCH 02/15] 3c501: relocate ancient 8 bit ISA driver to legacy dir

As the oldest bit of "supported" hardware, this 8 bit relic from
the 1980's gets the dubious honour of being the 1st driver to
be relegated to the dark corners of the legacy dir.

It wasn't really a functional bit of kit back in the early 1990's
so don't be expecting it to work now either.  Sure it compiles,
but it is largely a historical artefact.
