NAPI: kconfig prompt and deleted doc file
- make the kconfig NAPI option prompt consistent across all net drivers (other than EXPERIMENTAL; can it now be removed also, or is the new napi_struct implementation now EXPERIMENTAL ?) - remove comment about the now-deleted NAPI_HOWTO.txt file - clean up typos in Tulip NAPI & Interrupt Mitigation Signed-off-by: Randy Dunlap <randy.dunlap@oracle.com> Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
