Subject: [NET-NEXT PATCH 03/14] e1000e: 82571 check for link fix on 82571
	serdes

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

Check for link test does not work properly for 82571 parts in a blade
environment with an unterminated serdes link partner.  Make the test more
robust by checking the invalid bit.
