[parisc-linux] 64bit kernels boot on C200 (finally) :)

yeah, I was confused.  C200 has tulip, K460 has lasi_82596.  Talking
with Richard Hirst, it sounds like making this driver 64-bit clean
would be non-trivial ... so this will probably be one of my pet
project that takes a year to get finished :)

Cool, if your D270 also uses it, maybe you will get it ported
before I do :)
