One step at a time.

And really, that seems like a bunch of busy work for little gain.  We'd
have to move the files, change the Kconfig options, update all the
in-tree defconfigs... just so it can be called ibm_emac?

I don't really care either way, but I'll leave it up to the ibm_newemac
maintainer to push that change through.  If it goes in, I'll update
other things as needed.
