[PATCH 1/1][SRU][T] UBUNTU: SAUCE: e1000/e1000e: add eeprom_bad_csum_allow module parameter

From: Chris J Arges <chris.j.arges at canonical.com>
BugLink: http://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/2102113
This patch adds the eeprom_bad_csum_allow module parameter for the
e1000 and e1000e drivers. This allows users of affected hardware
to bypass EEPROM/NVM checksum validation.
Based on a patch by Ben Collins <bcollins at ubuntu.com>
