I mean ASAP, but was not defining "possible" :) Without this change the igb driver cannot be used static in the kernel so I've had a couple people say it was important that it get into 7.1, that's the main thing I want make.

I had no intention of putting it in today or something :) As many users of the driver that can give this a try would be appreciated.

Exactly the anwer I had hoped for, thanks!

 Merge of the source for igb and em into dev/e1000, this
 proved to be necessary to make the static drivers work
 in EITHER/OR or BOTH configurations. Modules will still
 build in sys/modules/igb or em as before.

 This also updates the igb driver for support for the 82576
 adapter, adds shared code fixes, and etc....

 MFC after:  ASAP

These changes seem pretty big -- I hope your definition of "ASAP" differs
from mine when it comes to the MFC, as I would take ASAP to mean "almost
immediately".  We generally require a minimum delay of three days for mall
changes, and ideally several weeks for large ones, and this is almost always
a good idea as it's interesting how the world becomes more complicated once
there's widespread testing going on :-).
