Is there any reason why we cannot enable this driver on all architectures?
It's moderately important for quality and maintainability reasons that it be included in the x86 build, at least..

Actually there's a discussion about that. I previously sent a RFC (subject is "[NET] Remove ARM dependency for dm9000 driver") for that. Now some people are reacting so we should wait for the last words before applying something.
