Thanks Kyle!
attached is a patch to dump the eeprom to dmesg (first 64 bytes) at
boot for e1000e, which kind of goes along with your AWOOGA part of
your patch.
e1000e: dump eeprom to dmesg for ich8/9
From: Jesse Brandeburg <jesse.brandeburg@xxxxxxxxx>
dumping the eeprom for now seems like a bit of a verbose
hack, but might be useful when we want to restore it.
if syslogd (or something like) isn't running it won't be kept
however.
