The ixp2000 is a series of Intel ARM SoCs, and the ENP2611 is a Radisys
PCI board based on the ixp2000 series (ixp2400), so it doesn't make
sense to put everything in the radisys/ directory.

If you insist on moving all drivers into vendor directories (I don't
like that idea at all -- are we going to rename directories and shuffle
stuff around every time vendor A buys vendor B or takes over one of
vendor B's products?), at least the core ixp2000 code should be under
intel/.
