Subject: [085/114] e1000e: disable ASPM L1 on 82573

2.6.35-stable review patch.  If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

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

commit 19833b5dffe2f2e92a1b377f9aae9d5f32239512 upstream.

On the e1000-devel mailing list, Nils Faerber reported latency issues with
the 82573 LOM on a ThinkPad X60.  It was found to be caused by ASPM L1;
disabling it resolves the latency.  The issue is present in kernels back
to 2.6.34 and possibly 2.6.33.
