[025/107] e1000: Fix driver to be used on PA RISC C8000 workstations

From: Greg KH

2.6.32-longterm review patch. If anyone has any objections, please let us know.

------------------

From: Jeff Kirsher <jeffrey.t.kirsher@xxxxxxxxx>

commit e2faeec2de9e2c73958e6ea6065dde1e8cd6f3a2 upstream.

The checksum field in the EEPROM on HPPA is really not a
checksum but a signature (0x16d6). So allow 0x16d6 as the
matching checksum on HPPA systems.

This issue is present on longterm/stable kernels, I have
verified that this patch is applicable back to at least
2.6.32.y kernels.

v2- changed ifdef to use CONFIG_PARISC instead of __hppa__
