Subject: [net-next 1/5] ixgbe: modify behavior on receiving a HW ECC error.

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

Currently when we noticed a HW ECC error we would  request the use reload
the driver to force a reset of the part.  This was done due to the mistaken
believe that a normal reset would not be sufficient.  Well it turns out it
would be so now we just schedule a reset upon seeing the ECC.
