[PATCH] Remove obsolete code in 8390 driver

[Paul Gortmaker <p_gortmaker@yahoo.com>]

[-- Attachment #1: Type: text/plain, Size: 272 bytes --]

The 8390 drivers had provision for using a single Tx buffer,
which was educational back in the day when it served as an
example driver, but it really hasn't been used and can go
away which will make future maintenance easier.  Patch
against vanilla 2.6.7.

Thanks,
Paul.
