Back before e1000-7.3.20, the e1000 driver had a simple algorithm that
managed interrupt moderation.  The driver was updated in 7.3.20 to
have the new "adaptive" interrupt moderation but we have customer
requests to redeploy the old way as an option.  This patch adds the
old functionality back.  The new functionality can be enabled via
module parameter or at runtime via ethtool.
Module parameter: (InterruptThrottleRate=4) to use this new
moderation method.
Ethtool method: ethtool -C ethX rx-usecs 4

used a modified checkstack to get the 56 number
(normally checkstack wouldn't show this low a value)

checkstack before:
0x0000012f e1000e_check_options [e1000e]:               272

after:
0x0000012f e1000e_check_options [e1000e]:                56

CRC stripping should be enabled by default but was not if it was not

Some users reported that they have machines with BMCs enabled that cannot
receive IPMI traffic after e1000e is loaded.

http://marc.info/?l=e1000-devel&m=121365543823387&w=2

This fixes the issue if they load with the new parameter = 0 by disabling
crc stripping, but leaves the performance feature on for most users.
Based on work done by Hong Zhang.

Set the hardware to ignore all write/erase cycles to the GbE region in
the ICHx NVM.  This feature can be disabled by the WriteProtectNVM module
parameter (enabled by default) only after a hardware reset, but
the machine must be power cycled before trying to enable writes.

During module load, seting the InterruptThrottleRate parameter to an
invalid value would result in the itr/itr_setting pair being set to
unexpected values which would result in poor performance.

L1 ASPM link (pci-e link power savings) has significant benefits
(~1W savings when link is active) but unfortunately does not work
correctly on any of the chipsets that have 82573 on mobile platforms
which causes various nuisances:
 - eeprom reads return garbage information leading to bad eeprom
   checksums
 - long ping times (up to 2 seconds)
 - complete system hangs (freeze/lockup)

A lot of T60 owners have been plagued by this, but other mobile
solutions also suffer from these symptoms.

Disabling L1 ASPM before we activate the PCI-E link fixes all of
these issues at the cost of some power consumption.

Remove a workaround RDTR adjustment that is no longer needed with
this new one.

This driver implements support for the ICH9 on-board LAN ethernet
device. The device is similar to ICH8.

The driver encompasses code to support 82571/2/3, es2lan and ICH8
devices as well, but those device IDs are disabled and will be
"lifted" from the e1000 driver over one at a time once this driver
receives some more live time.

Changes to the last snapshot posted are exclusively in the internal
hardware API organization. Many thanks to Jeff Garzik for jumping in
and getting this organized with a keen eye on the future layout.
