Okay, so I added that flag, and it actually seems to be correct.

But, the question remains, why does accessing that variable cause a
problem?  I'm going to do some more digging when I'm in the office
tomorrow, but one of the tests I already did was to put

e1000_proc_dev = NULL;

at one point in the code.  That line caused a crash with what looked like a
NULL-ptr dereference.

I'm going to re-examine this tomorrow, but I'm wondering if any of the
people on this list that are using this driver have CONFIG_PROC_FS turned
on.
