This will make CONFIG_NET_MULTI the only net driver configuration and
we'll be able to remove this option.

 ---------------------------
 
+What:  CONFIG_NET_MULTI option
+When:  Release 2009-11
+
+Why:   U-boot currently implements two network driver APIs.  New drivers with
+       the older-style implementation have not been accepted for a while, and
+       this parallel system makes the code confusing and hard to augment. 
+
+       All existing in-tree boards will be converted to use CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+       over the span of two releases (2009-07 and 2009-09).
+       In the 2009-11 release, all code that is compiled when CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+       is not set will be removed, and all references to CONFIG_NET_MULTI
+       will be removed, effectively making it the only API.  This should
+       provide ample time for out-of-tree users to adjust, and for tools on
+       all architectures to be made to work with weak functions.
