Use the round_jiffies() function in e1000.
These timers all were of the "about once a second" or "about once every X
seconds" variety and several showed up in the "what wakes the cpu up" profiles
that the tickless patches provide. Some timers are highly dynamic based on
network load; but even on low activity systems they still show up so the
rounding is done only in cases of low activity, allowing higher frequency
timers in the high activity case.
The various hardware watchdogs are an obvious case; they run every 2 seconds
but aren't otherwise specific of exactly when they need to run.

Current tc35815 driver is very obsolete and less maintained for a long
time. Replace it with a new driver based on one from CELF patch
archive.
Major advantages of CELF version (version 1.23, for kernel 2.6.10) are:
* Independent of JMR3927.
(Actually independent of MIPS, but AFAIK the chip is used only on
MIPS platforms)
* TX4938 support.
* 64-bit proof.
* Asynchronous and on-demand auto negotiation.
* High performance on non-coherent architecture.
* ethtool support.
* Many bugfixes and cleanups.
And improvoments since version 1.23 are:
* TX4939 support.
* NETPOLL support.
* NAPI support. (disabled by default)
* Reduce memcpy on receiving.
* PM support.
* Many cleanups and bugfixes.

Some code for Chelsio 1G boards was put in the driver
based on the vendor version (minus TOE). Well some of those board
versions are only supported with TOE on the vendor driver, so additional
dead code was added.

It looks like some of the PC Card manfid/product strings were lost
when Host AP driver was converted to use PCMCIA_DEVICE_* helpers. This
patch adds back D-Link DWL-650 Rev. P1 using the same product ID
string match as the pcmcia-cs/cardmgr configuration used before.

The original macros result in gcc 4.2 warning about "cast from pointer
to integer of different size" on 64-bit systems.
Use of offsetof() on fields in substructures is widespread throughout
the kernel code and should work whether offsetof() is defined using
__compiler_offsetof() or a cast.
