Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH] e1000e: Add check for reset flags before displaying
	reset message

From: Carolyn Wyborny <carolyn.wyborny@...el.com>

Some parts need to execute resets during normal operation.  This flag
check ensures that those parts reset without needlessly alarming the
user.  Other unexpected resets by other parts will dump debug info
and message the reset action to the user, as originally intended.
