Well, the LASI 82596 hasn't actually been built since 2019, when there
was a typo in the meson conversion and it started to depend on the non-
existent CONFIG_LASI_I82596 option instead of CONFIG_LASI_82596.

But that doesn't really matter because enable_lasi_lan() has been
#defined to zero for hw/hppa/machine.c ever since the LASI support was
first introduced, so nothing ever tries to instantiate one anyway.

As part of the -nic rework¹ I plan to allow the user to explicitly
specify "lasi_82596" as the model if they want one, or else the default
-nic will be a PCI one as it is at the moment. OK?
