e1000: workaround for the ESB2 NIC RX unit issue
In rare occasions, ESB2 systems would end up started without the RX unit being turned on. Add a check that runs post-init to work around this issue. Originally from Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@intel.com>, rewritten to use feature flags by me. Signed-off-by: Jeff Garzik <jeff@garzik.org>
