These patches take steps towards removing sk98lin from the upstream

I accept the possibility that I may be jumping the gun on this.
However, I think it is worth opening this discussion.
Patches to follow...
I applaud the initiative, but this it is too premature to obsolete the
existing driver. There may be lots of chip versions and other variables
that make
the existing driver a better choice. Maybe eepro100 is a better target
for removal right now.
