I would consider problems with the vmware emulated e1000 to be similar
to hardware quirks in some other chip rev supported by the e1000
driver. If a driver change broke e1000 inside a vmware VM then we
should probably fix the kernel if possible (although vmware probably
wants to improve their emulation too).
