Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 3/3] e1000e: update to workaround for jumbo
	frames on 82577

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

For OEM systems with this part that also has Spread Spectrum Clocking (SSC)
enabled in the BIOS, there is an Rx performance issue with 4K jumbo frames.
Leaving the defaults in PHY page 770 register 26 resolves the issue, and
does not negatively impact jumbo frames on systems with SSC disabled.
