4a77035828 e1000e: write protect ICHx NVM to prevent malicious write/erase
Set the hardware to ignore all write/erase cycles to the GbE region in
the ICHx NVM.  This feature can be disabled by the WriteProtectNVM module
parameter (enabled by default) only after a hardware reset, but
the machine must be power cycled before trying to enable writes.

2d06cad1a5 e1000e: Set InterruptThrottleRate to default when invalid value used
During module load, seting the InterruptThrottleRate parameter to an
invalid value would result in the itr/itr_setting pair being set to
unexpected values which would result in poor performance.

44defeb3f6 e1000e: convert ndev_ printks to something smaller
The ndev_* printk's are too lenghty and we don't need to specify
the adapter/netdev struct at all, making this a lot more readable.

1eae4eb2a1 e1000e: Disable L1 ASPM power savings for 82573 mobile variants
L1 ASPM link (pci-e link power savings) has significant benefits
(~1W savings when link is active) but unfortunately does not work
correctly on any of the chipsets that have 82573 on mobile platforms
which causes various nuisances:
 - eeprom reads return garbage information leading to bad eeprom
   checksums
 - long ping times (up to 2 seconds)
 - complete system hangs (freeze/lockup)

A lot of T60 owners have been plagued by this, but other mobile
solutions also suffer from these symptoms.

Disabling L1 ASPM before we activate the PCI-E link fixes all of
these issues at the cost of some power consumption.

Remove a workaround RDTR adjustment that is no longer needed with
this new one.

5a9147bb29 e1000e: fix sparse warnings
Fix sparse warnings from e1000e driver in net-2.6.24.

Added a sparse fix for module param arrays which can have int values
but only the array index needs to be unsigned. --Auke

bc7f75fa97 [E1000E]: New pci-express e1000 driver (currently for ICH9 devices only)
This driver implements support for the ICH9 on-board LAN ethernet
device. The device is similar to ICH8.

The driver encompasses code to support 82571/2/3, es2lan and ICH8
devices as well, but those device IDs are disabled and will be
"lifted" from the e1000 driver over one at a time once this driver
receives some more live time.

Changes to the last snapshot posted are exclusively in the internal
hardware API organization. Many thanks to Jeff Garzik for jumping in
and getting this organized with a keen eye on the future layout.

[ Integrated napi_struct patch from Auke as well... -DaveM ]
