I was just figuring that part out :)

Things change a bit with this patch, but the e1000e still fails to
initialize:

[    9.301890] e1000e: Intel(R) PRO/1000 Network Driver - 0.3.3.3-k6

Pretty much the same as before.  The I/O memory layout *has* changed a
bit, though:

The e1000e iomem is seen as such (fe9db000-fe9dbfff : 0000:00:19.0),
but it's still under the "reserved" umbrella, and that seems to give it
grief.
