[patch for 2.6.27? 3/6] e1000: prevent corruption of EEPROM/NVM

[akpm@linux-foundation.org]

From: Christopher Li <chrisl@vmware.com> 

Andrey reports e1000 corruption, and that a patch in vmware's ESX fixed
it.

The EEPROM corruption is triggered by concurrent access of the EEPROM
read/write. Putting a lock around it solve the problem.
