Sure its on my todo for the weekend, have just had an insane week.

I just noticed the armhf port effort yesterday, that would also need
this patch, I will add your Ack-by when sending the updated patch.

I also have a bunch of e1000e cleanups scheduled for 2.6.38, will submit
to netdev this weekend as well.

Thanks, for the reminding effort.
