Obviously e1000e hasn't been out for long enough to become common 
knowledge.  (Both Ingo and Linus running into the problem is probably a 
sign...)

Maybe it would make sense to have "e1000 implies setting e1000e to the 
same as e1000" for a couple releases, so that word gets around a bit 
more.  Then you can remove the auto-select of e1000e and anyone that 
hasn't updated by then will get bit.
