As reported by Andrew Lutomirski <amluto@gmail.com>
All the intel wired ethernet drivers were calling netif_carrier_off
and netif_stop_queue (or variants) before calling register_netdevice
This is incorrect behavior as was pointed out by davem, and causes
ifconfig and friends to report a strange state before first link
after the driver was loaded, since without a netif_carrier_off, the stack
assumes carrier_on, but before register_netdev, netlink messages are not
sent out telling link state.
This apparently confused *some* versions of networkmanager.
Andy tested this for e1000e and confirmed it was working for him.

Prevent e1000e from putting the adapter into D3 during shutdown except when
we're going to power off the system, since doing that may generally cause
problems with kexec to happen (such problems were observed for igb and
forcedeth). For this purpose seperate e1000e_shutdown() from e1000e_suspend()
and use the appropriate PCI PM callbacks in both of them.

e1000e: allow tx of pre-formatted vlan tagged packets
We lost one line, this fixes that missing

As with igb, when the e1000e driver is fed 802.1q
packets with hardware checksum on, it chokes with an
error of the form:
checksum_partial proto=81!
As the logic there was not smart enough to look into
the vlan header to pick out the encapsulated protocol.
There are times when we'd like to send these packets
out without having to configure a vlan on the interface.
Here we check for the vlan tag and allow the packet to
go out wiht the correct hardware checksum.
Thanks to Kand Ly <kand@riverbed.com> for discovering the
issue and the coming up with a solution. This patch is
based upon his work.

There were a few issues I noticed in e1000e. These include a double free
of the skb if mapping fails, and the fact that context descriptors appear
to be left in the descriptor ring after the failure.

During the move of support for PCIe devices from e1000 to e1000e, this
workaround necessary only for older non-PCIe devices was mistakenly
copied into e1000e. Remove it.

RXSEQ interrupts were used to force link state interrogation of serdes
links, as the Si was not guaranteed to report LSC interrupts when the
link changed state. On some bladeservers this resulted in false link up
reports if no link partner was connected. The RXSEQ treatment is
not necessary, as the link can be monitored from the watchdog timer, and
the false link indications cease.

LLTX is deprecated and complicated, don't use it. It was observed by Don Ash
<donash4@gmail.com> that e1000e was acquiring this lock in the NAPI cleanup
path. This is obviously a bug, as this is a leftover from when e1000
supported multiple tx queues and fake netdevs.
another user reported this to us and tested routing with the 2.6.27 kernel and
this patch and reported a 3.5 % improvement in packets forwarded in a
multi-port test on 82571 parts.

Following the removal of the unused struct net_device * parameter from

exactly equivalent to the corresponding *napi_* functions and are
therefore redundant.

Device drivers that use pci_request_regions() (and similar APIs) have a
reasonable expectation that they are the only ones accessing their device.
As part of the e1000e hunt, we were afraid that some userland (X or some
bootsplash stuff) was mapping the MMIO region that the driver thought it
had exclusively via /dev/mem or via various sysfs resource mappings.
This patch adds the option for device drivers to cause their reserved
regions to the "banned from /dev/mem use" list, so now both kernel memory
and device-exclusive MMIO regions are banned.
NOTE: This is only active when CONFIG_STRICT_DEVMEM is set.
In addition to the config option, a kernel parameter iomem=relaxed is
provided for the cases where developers want to diagnose, in the field,
drivers issues from userspace.

When the napi api was changed to separate its 1:1 binding to the net_device
struct, the netif_rx_[prep|schedule|complete] api failed to remove the now
vestigual net_device structure parameter. This patch cleans up that api by
