All these do indeed look like fixes to me.  But they look like low 
priority fixes that would need some public testing behind them, and it's 
pretty late in the 2.6.21-rc game.

I'll merge them into an e1000-fixes branch for now (and propagates 
through #ALL to akpm's -mm).  If replies to this email indicate we 
really should push these upstream for 2.6.21-rc, it will be easy enough 
to do so via #e1000-fixes.
