Now that this patch is in master (d4a4206e) and has presumably been
widely tested, what's the possibility of it making it into stable? I
really should have included a CC to stable when I sent it...

This patch should probably also be accompanied with 59aed952 (e1000e:
Remove special case for 82573/82574 ASPM L1 disablement) on top, to
remove a special case that's no longer required once this is applied.

Thanks,
Chris
