I think the first and second patch are fairly uncontrovercial and I would like them for 2.12, since it'll make any future changes easier. The third one changes the default behaviour, so again I'd prefer it but lets see what you think. My question however, without knowing the internals of the e1000, is whether when ommitting the subsection, should the code in 2.12 be changing the data it sends back in the main section of data?
