Subject: [Intel-wired-lan] [PATCH] igb: use igb_adapter->io_addr instead of     e1000_hw->hw_addr

When running as guest, under certain condition, it will oops as following.
writel() in igb_configure_tx_ring() results in oops, because hw->hw_addr
is NULL. While other register access won't oops kernel because they use
wr32/rd32 which have a defense against NULL pointer.
