Needs to use an "i have broken stats" feature flag, rather than adding

rather than feature flags is a major e1000 problem, and it bloats the
driver quite a bit. Intel has been told for /months/ this is a problem,
yet I still see patches like this.
it is "nice" that you say this, and Intel is working on a "flags"
based driver. However that is, as you state yourself here, a major
invasive change, and thus not suitable for 2.6.20 inclusion. Yet these
fixes are important bugfixes; I don't think it's fair to hold these
hostage..
