this doesn't apply anymore and it would help if you could re-spin this for e1000e.
I don't know what the status for merging of the batched xmit patches is right now
but it would help if you could rewrite them against e1000e, which I assume is what
most people want to test with. There are also significant changes upstream right
now in jgarzik/netdev-2.6 #upstream...

I'm still very interested in these patches BTW.
