I have discovered the cause of this issue.  It is related to the
change in the application of a Si errata workaround.

I will be working on grok'ing the total impact of this issue and
writing up the patch over the weekend and will have something pushed
into our internal queue early next week.

Hi,

Not sure if its helpful to have another report, but I'm pretty sure I
am seeing the same thing on my Dell Latitude 7440 running 3.14.0-rc7
but with a slightly different card:

$ ethtool -i eth0
driver: e1000e
version: 2.3.2-k
firmware-version: 0.6-3
bus-info: 0000:00:19.0
supports-statistics: yes
supports-test: yes
supports-eeprom-access: yes
supports-register-dump: yes

and from lspci -v:

00:19.0 Ethernet controller: Intel Corporation Ethernet Connection
I218-LM (rev 04)
    Subsystem: Dell Device 05cb
    Flags: bus master, fast devsel, latency 0, IRQ 59
    Memory at f7e00000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=128K]
    Memory at f7e3c000 (32-bit, non-prefetchable) [size=4K]
    I/O ports at f080 [size=32]
    Capabilities: <access denied>
    Kernel driver in use: e1000e
    Kernel modules: e1000e

I can try testing patches if it helps too.

thanks,
Maks.
