Dear Auke

* [PATCH 1/3] e1000: make ioport free
* [PATCH 2/3] e1000e: make ioport free
* [PATCH 3/3] igb: make ioport free

I think patch 2 and 3 are way too large since igb and e1000e can be totally ioport
free at all times. There is no need to keep compatibility code for ioport in those
drivers as it's unlikely that this will ever be needed.

I left an old implementation in case adapters that need ioport resources appear,
but it's true that these codes are a little redundant for igb and e1000e drivers.

So, perhaps you can remove the ioport code from those 2 drivers (e1000e/igb)
completely and resubmit to Jeff Kirsher?

OK, I'll send them later.
