The e100 network driver is failing to load properly on an old laptop. The
dmesg output is as follows

[   68.875508] e100: Intel(R) PRO/100 Network Driver, 3.5.23-k4-NAPI
[   68.877091] e100: Copyright(c) 1999-2006 Intel Corporation
[   68.881216] ACPI: PCI Interrupt 0000:00:03.0[A] -> Link [LNKC] -> GSI 11 (level, low) -> IRQ 11
[   68.893113] modprobe:2736 conflicting cache attribute e8120000-e8121000 uncached<->default
[   68.897090] e100: 0000:00:03.0: e100_probe: Cannot map device registers, aborting.
[   68.901108] ACPI: PCI interrupt for device 0000:00:03.0 disabled
[   68.905106] e100: probe of 0000:00:03.0 failed with error -12

The "conflicting cache attribute" message appears to be part of the PAT patches
in the git-x86 tree (cc's added). It may be a co-incidence but reverting
git-net related patches didn't fix it but reverting git-x86 and any
depencies to make quilt work did.
