====================
net: remove non-Ethernet drivers using virt_to_bus()

Networking is currently the main offender in using virt_to_bus().
Frankly all the drivers which use it are super old and unlikely
to be used today. They are just an ongoing maintenance burden.

In other words this series is using virt_to_bus() as an excuse
to shed some old stuff. Having done the tree-wide dev_addr_set()
conversion recently I have limited sympathy for carrying dead
code.

Obviously please scream if any of these drivers _is_ in fact
still being used. Otherwise let's take the chance, we can always
apologize and revert if users show up later.

Also I should say thanks to everyone who contributed to this code!
The work continues to be appreciated although realistically in more
of a "history book" fashion...
