Subject: [net-next-2.6 19/27] e1000e: 82571 Serdes can fail to get link

From: Bruce Allan <bruce.w.allan@...el.com>

When link partner is sending continuous Config symbols, the 82571 Serdes
FIFO can overflow resulting in Invalid bit getting set.  To resolve this,
if Sync and Config bits are both 1 ignore the Invalid bit and restart
auto-negotiation.
