Thanks for testing and the feedback Mathieu.  That's all I needed to
know.  The patch that was tested is now in the upstream kernel.  This
will be pulled into Karmic automatically once we do the next rebase.
Thanks.

    e1000e: fix potential NVM corruption on ICH9 with 8K bank size
    
    The bank offset was being incorrectly calculated on ICH9 parts with a bank
    size of 8K (instead of the more common 4K bank) which would cause any NVM
    writes to be done on the wrong address after switching from bank 1 to bank
    0.  Additionally, assume we are meant to use bank 0 if a valid bank is not
    detected, and remove the unnecessary acquisition of the SW/FW/HW semaphore
    when writing to the shadow ram version of the NVM image.
