Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH] e1000e: workaround hw errata

From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@...el.com>

There is a hardware errata in some revisions of the 82574 that needs
to be worked around in the driver by setting a register bit at init.

If this bit is not set A0 versions of the 82574 can generate
tx hangs.
