Subject[PATCH][2.5][Trivial] VIA Rhine Kconfig entry
Fix and update VIA Rhine description at least for 2.5 (I'll do 2.4, too, if
there's interest). Removed "experimental" flag for Rhine MMIO while I was
at it. Just barely resisted the temptation to make VIA Rhine conflict with
IO-APIC -- that seems to emerge as a fatal combo.

Please apply.

help
This instructs the driver to use PCI shared memory (MMIO) instead of
programmed I/O ports (PIO). Enabling this gives an improvement in
processing time in parts of the driver.

If unsure, say N.
