[Maverick] [PATCH 0/2] Enable support for 82579 LOM's

[leann.ogasawara at canonical.com]

Even though we can provide a full backport of the e1000e driver from
2.6.36 to enable 82579 LOM's via linux-backports-modules, I believe it
would also be reasonable to add a minimal set of 82579 enablement
patches to the main distro kernel.  Those seeking the complete driver
backport can use LBM.  Thoughts?

I've built and tested the following two patches and confirmed they do
enable an 82579 LOM.  I additionally tested on an older platform which
leverages the e1000e driver and confirm I see no regressions.

Thanks,
Leann
