====================
Intel Wired LAN Driver Updates 2015-03-20

This series contains updates to ixgb, e1000e, igb and igbvf.

Eliezer and Todd provide patches to fix a potential issue found during code
inspection.  When bringing down an interface netif_carrier_off() should
be one of the first things we do, since this will prevent the stack from
queueing more packets to this interface.

Yanir provides a fix for e1000e that was found in validating i219,
where the call to e1000e_write_protect_nvm_ich8lan() is no longer
supported in newer hardware.  Access to these registers causes a
system freeze in early steppings and is ignored in later steppings.
