[net-next 0/6][pull request] Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-03-06

[Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@intel.com>]

This series contains updates to e1000, e1000e and igb.

Yanir provides updates to e1000e based on the patches provided by John
Linville.  First updates the code comment to better describe the changes
and the impact on the driver.  Second removed calls to ioremap/unmap for
i219 since this is only relevant to older hardware only.  Starting with
i219, the NVM will not be mapped to its one BAR but to a address region
in another bar.

Alex Duyck provides two fixes for igb, first fixes a compile warning
where a variable may be used uninitialized, so Alex initializes it.
Second fixes an issue where all of the pin register values were having
to be pushed onto the stack each time the function was called, so to
avoid this, Alex made them static const so that they should only need
to be allocated once and we can avoid all the instructions to get them
onto the stack.

Eliezer found an issue in e1000 where we needed to be calling
netif_carrier_off earlier in the down() to prevent the stack from 
queuing more packets to the interface.

Sabrina Dubroca resolved a potential race condition by adding a
dummy allocator.  There was a race condition between e1000_change_mtu()
cleanups and netpoll, when changing the MTU across jumbo sizes.

The following are changes since commit 23375a0fd549aa0a8c96b9f56a0b8120ae1389dd:
  ipv4: Fix unused variable warnings in fib_table_flush_external.
