It's one thing taking a totally new driver (that couldn't have worked

depend on. These things need to happen during the merge window, and just
because they are drivers doesn't mean that they can just do anythign they
want.
The e1000e change is just a bunch of code additions for a new phy type,
not a bunch of /changes/ really. Is that the change you're concerned with?
