[NET]: Kill drivers/net/net_init.c

After the last patch only three routines are left in this file, but all
of the fir into net/core/dev.c much better:

 - {un,}register_netdev are just wrappers around {un,}register_netdevice
   from dev.c
 - alloc_netdev's counterpart, free_netdev is in dev.c aswell.

So move over the remaining contents and add some kerneldoc comments
describing the functions.

-
-	This file contains the initialization for the "pl14+" style ethernet
-	drivers.  It should eventually replace most of drivers/net/Space.c.
-	It's primary advantage is that it's able to allocate low-memory buffers.
-	A secondary advantage is that the dangerous NE*000 netcards can reserve
-	their I/O port region before the SCSI probes start.
-
-	Modifications/additions by Bjorn Ekwall <bj0rn@blox.se>:
-		ethdev_index[MAX_ETH_CARDS]
-		register_netdev() / unregister_netdev()
-		
-	Modifications by Wolfgang Walter
-		Use dev_close cleanly so we always shut things down tidily.
-		
-	Changed 29/10/95, Alan Cox to pass sockaddr's around for mac addresses.
-	
-	14/06/96 - Paul Gortmaker:	Add generic eth_change_mtu() function. 
-	24/09/96 - Paul Norton: Add token-ring variants of the netdev functions. 
-	
-	08/11/99 - Alan Cox: Got fed up of the mess in this file and cleaned it
-			up. We now share common code and have regularised name
-			allocation setups. Abolished the 16 card limits.
-	03/19/2000 - jgarzik and Urban Widmark: init_etherdev 32-byte align
-	03/21/2001 - jgarzik: alloc_etherdev and friends

-/* The network devices currently exist only in the socket namespace, so these
-   entries are unused.  The only ones that make sense are

-   One can also imagine getting raw packets using
-    read & write

-   Given that almost all of these functions are handled in the current
