e1000e patch just completed testing, I will be pushing that tonight.
ixgbe got pushed back in June, but there some suggested changes you had
made with Don and that patch has been in/out of testing due to issues
found.  

It also appears that the ixgbevf patch has completed testing.  The only
remaining patch which is left to complete is igbvf.
