This series contains updates to e1000e, ixgbe and ixgbevf.

Majority of the changes are against e1000e (from Bruce Allan).
Bruce adds additional error handling on PHY register access, as
well as improve slow performance on 82579 when connected to a
10Mbit hub.  In addition, fixes LED blink logic for cathode
LED design.  Most notable is added EEE support which is enabled
by default and the added support for LTR on I217/I218.

The ixgbe and ixgbevf from Greg Rose changes the VM so that if a user
does not assign a MAC address, the MAC address is set to all zeros
instead of a random MAC address.  This ensures that we always know when
we have a random address and udev won't get upset about it.

The following are changes since commit 8b49a4c75965ed157e21450d23dcadd6b27c1aa3:
  bnx2x: fix compilation without CONFIG_BNX2X_SRIOV
and are available in the git repository at:
  git://git.kernel.org/pub/scm/linux/kernel/git/jkirsher/net-next master
Pulled, thanks Jeff.
