no, it sounds like he's saying make the E1000 option select both E1000_PCI
and E1000_PCIE (which could be selected seperately) and never remove the
E1000 option.
after people trust the E1000e driver the PCI ids can be removed from
E1000, but people who only select E1000 will continue to work becouse the
build system will now build both the PCI and PCI-e drivers when E1000 is
selected.
