    drivers/net: delete 486 Apricot support · 6e07ba3e
    Paul Gortmaker authored
    The Apricot was a 486 PC with 4MB RAM, and an on-board ethernet
    via an intel i82596 hard-wired to i/o 0x300.
    
    Those who were using linux in the 1990's will recall that the
    i82596 driver was not one of the more stable or widely used
    drivers of its day.  Combine that with the extremely limited
    resources of the platform, and it is truly time to expire the
    support for this thing.
    
    There are some old m68k targets who were also using this chip,
    so rather than poll the m68k user base, we simply cut out the
    x86/Apricot support here in this commit.
