[PATCH] remove obsolete sis900 documentation

This documentation is mostly obsolete, and should therefore either be
updated or removed (this patch does the latter).

-This document describes the revision 1.06 and 1.07 of SiS 900/7016 Fast Ethernet 
-device driver under Linux. The driver is developed by Silicon Integrated
-System Corp. and distributed freely under the GNU General Public License (GPL).
-The driver can be compiled as a loadable module and used under Linux kernel 
-version 2.2.x. (rev. 1.06)
-With minimal changes, the driver can also be used under 2.3.x and 2.4.x kernel 
-(rev. 1.07), please see 
-<xref linkend="install"/>. If you are intended to
-use the driver for earlier kernels, you are on your own.
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The driver is tested with usual TCP/IP applications including
-FTP, Telnet, Netscape etc. and is used constantly by the developers.

-Silicon Integrated System Corp. is cooperating closely with core Linux Kernel
-developers. The revisions of SiS 900 driver are distributed by the usuall channels
-for kernel tar files and patches. Those kernel tar files for official kernel and
-patches for kernel pre-release can be download at 
-<ulink url="http://ftp.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/">official kernel ftp site</ulink>
-and its mirrors.
-The 1.06 revision can be found in kernel version later than 2.3.15 and pre-2.2.14, 
-and 1.07 revision can be found in kernel version 2.4.0.
-If you have no prior experience in networking under Linux, please read
-<ulink url="http://www.tldp.org/">Ethernet HOWTO</ulink> and
-<ulink url="http://www.tldp.org/">Networking HOWTO</ulink> available from
-Linux Documentation Project (LDP).
-</para>
-
-<para>
-The driver is bundled in release later than 2.2.11 and 2.3.15 so this 
-is the most easy case. 
-Be sure you have the appropriate packages for compiling kernel source.
-Those packages are listed in Document/Changes in kernel source 
-distribution. If you have to install the driver other than those bundled
-in kernel release, you should have your driver file 
-<filename>sis900.c</filename> and <filename>sis900.h</filename> 
-copied into <filename class="directory">/usr/src/linux/drivers/net/</filename> first.
-There are two alternative ways to install the driver

-<title>Building the driver as loadable module</title>

-To build the driver as a loadable kernel module you have to reconfigure
-the kernel to activate network support by

-<quote>Ethernet (10 or 100Mbit)</quote>.
-Then select <quote>EISA, VLB, PCI and on board controllers</quote>, 
-and choose <quote>SiS 900/7016 PCI Fast Ethernet Adapter support</quote>

-<para>
-where IPADDR, BROADCAST, NETMASK are your IP address, broadcast address and
-netmask respectively. TYPE is used to set medium type used by the device. 
-Typical values are "10baseT"(twisted-pair 10Mbps Ethernet) or "100baseT"
-(twisted-pair 100Mbps Ethernet). For more information on how to configure 
-network interface, please refer to

-The link status is also shown by kernel messages. For example, after the
