Subject: e1000: backport ich9 support from 7.5.5 ?

Hi Auke,
	I understand there is some delay in getting e1000-7.5.5 into the
upstream kernel given the major re-working of the chipset specific
parts.

	I wonder would it be feasible in the meantime to backport the ich9
support and push it upstream?

	A first-cut at the backport is attached. Note, this patch applies
against latest netdev-2.6-git, but I haven't actually tested this
version of the patch beyond compiling. A similar patch against 2.6.18
worked fine with some light testing.

Thanks,
Mark.
