Jaunty SRU request - e1000e driver update for Hanksville NIC

[Stefan Bader]

Forwarding the work of Tim with an updated SRU description. The final commit 
message would be modified to be a SAUCE patch and get the BugLink added.
As the complete patch is quite big I am only attaching the differences between 
the stand-alone driver and the code added to ubuntu/

SRU justification:

Impact: Hanksville NIC (82577/82588) is a Single-Port GbE ASIC supporting Intel 
09' platforms (Piketon/Calpella) which time to market is ahead of Karmic 
released. The e1000e driver supporting Hanksville has been accepted by upstream 
which will show up in .31 kernel.
We're requesting a driver update for Jaunty, for Karmic it should be supported 
by nature.

Fix: The stand-alone e1000e driver which is compatible with .28 kernel is now 
available on "http://sourceforge.net/projects/e1000/". To add support in 
Jaunty, we will take the stand-alone driver and remove all pci id's already 
covered by the in-kernel driver and also rename the module.

Testcase: Install the resulting kernel package on older and newer hardware. 
Currently supported ethernet models would run with the current driver and newer 
models with the modified one.
