[patch] dgrs romove Kconfig option

[patch] dgrs romove Kconfig option

[maximilian attems]

nobody objected to adrian's rfc dropping dgrs on netdev back in dec. 2006.
-> http://marc.info/?l=linux-netdev&m=116507999803538&w=2
as bonus points this will get rid of a prorpietary licensed firmware.

so now be a bit more serious and remove the Kconfig entries
and see if anyone shouts. if no voice is to be heard as
expected by zero bug entries on kernel.org or debian.org,
the full removal is scheduled for 2.6.24.

Why not just do the full removal now?  If someone shouts, it's just as easy
to add it all back.  Leaving around half a driver is just annoying..
