Subject: [net-2.6 PATCH 5/5] e1000e: fix and commonize code for setting the receive address registers

From: Jeff Kirsher <[email-masked]>
Date: Thu, 07 Jan 2010 18:32:13 -0800

From: Bruce Allan <[email-masked]>

Fix e1000e_rar_set() to flush consecutive register writes to avoid write
combining which some parts cannot handle.  Update e1000e_init_rx_addrs()
to call the fixed e1000e_rar_set() instead of duplicating code.

Also change e1000e_rar_set() to _not_ set the Address Valid bit if the MAC
address is all zeros.
