Subject: [net-next-2.6 11/12] ixgbe: fix X540 ethtool loopback test.

From: Don Skidmore <donald.c.skidmore@...el.com>

On X540 we need to set the MACC.FLU bit to 1 in order to force the link
up before entering MAC loopback.  This is only used in the ethtool loopback
test, which was failing.  This patch corrects it.
