This howto made sense in the 1990s when users had to manually configure
ISA cards with jumpers or vendor utilities, but with the implementation
of PCI it became increasingly less and less relevant, to the point where
it has been well over a decade since I last updated it.  And there is
no value in anyone else taking over updating it either.

However the references to it continue to spread as boiler plate text
from one Kconfig file into the next.  We are not doing end users any
favours by pointing them at this old document, so lets kill it with
fire, once and for all, to hopefully stop any further spread.

No code is changed in this commit, just Kconfig help text.

To test a checkpatch spelling patch, I ran codespell against
drivers/net/ethernet/.

$ git ls-files drivers/net/ethernet/ | \
  while read file ; do \
    codespell -w $file; \
  done

I removed a false positive in e1000_hw.h

Conflicts:
	drivers/net/xen-netfront.c

Minor overlapping changes in xen-netfront.c, mostly to do
with some buffer management changes alongside the split
of stats into TX and RX.

The same macros are used for rx as well. So rename it.

Commit d75b1ade567f ("net: less interrupt masking in NAPI") uncovered
wrong alx_poll() behavior.

A NAPI poll() handler is supposed to return exactly the budget when/if
napi_complete() has not been called.

It is also supposed to return number of frames that were received, so
that netdev_budget can have a meaning.

Also, in case of TX pressure, we still have to dequeue received
packets : alx_clean_rx_irq() has to be called even if
alx_clean_tx_irq(alx) returns false, otherwise device is half duplex.

Convert a call to init_timer and accompanying intializations of
the timer's data and function fields to a call to setup_timer.

A simplified version of the semantic match that fixes this problem is as
follows: (http://coccinelle.lip6.fr/)

// <smpl>

expression t,f,d;

-init_timer(&t);
+setup_timer(&t,f,d);
-t.function = f;
