Thank you for your notice.
I believe this comment is incorrect: if some function returns an error it should
restore original state on exit, otherwise can lead to resource leaks. Also I
would note that this requirements is not accomplished in current driver version:
e1000_setup_all_Xx_resources functions are called in two places: in
e1000_set_ringparam() and in e1000_open() and in both cases nobody cleans those
orphaned rings.

Therefore I think it make sense to remove these comments too.

Andrew, could you please use attached patch instead previous version?
