Subject: [net-next-2.6 PATCH 1/4] e1000e: avoid polling h/w registers during
link negotiation
From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>
Avoid touching hardware registers when possible, otherwise link negotiation
can get messed up when user-level scripts are rapidly polling the driver to
see if/when link is up. Use the saved link state information instead when
possible.
