This commit moves drivers/net/cs89x0.[ch] to drivers/net/ethernet/apple/.

This is wrong. The cs89x0 driver is a general ISA driver and is also
used on some embedded boards. This patch should only move drivers/net/mac89x0.c
which basically is a driver for the same device but used on Macintosh.

I think it should go to drivers/net/ethernet/cirrus instead.

Sascha
