Subject: [PATCH net-next 06/15] drivers/net: delete ISA intel eexpress and eepro i825xx drivers

These old drivers should not be confused with the very common PCI
cards that are supported by e100.c -- these older 10Mbit ISA only
drivers were not as commonly used as some of the other ISA drivers,
simply due to hardware availability and pricing.

Given the rarity of the hardware, and the subsequent less extensive
use of the drivers, it makes sense to obsolete them at this point
in time, along with other rare/experimental ISA drivers.
