We see the same stack every time the crash is triggered.

My understanding is not that the interface for the error handling was
calling e1000e_down() but not freeing IRQs.

In our case, on powerpc , if injecting eeh errors to reach preset
threshold value, it will be forced to be offline permanently.

In e1000e_close() to bring down link, the check: "if (!
test_bit(__E1000_DOWN, &adapter->state))" is false, so e1000e_down() and
e1000_free_irq() are both not called. IRQs are not freed.

When e1000_remove() is called, it sees IRQs are not free, hence crash
the kernel.

This is the reason I have the original proposed patch to add an extra
check in e1000e_close().

For the 2nd change in e1000_io_error_detected() routine, I haven't
tested it yet.

Pardon me if causing any confusion, and Thanks for your time again!
