The write-protection method being in the driver probe routine is called
late in the boot sequence, and not at all if the driver is never loaded.
By making it a PCI quirk the NVM is protected much earlier whether or not
the driver is loaded. The write-protection quirk can be disabled with a
new kernel parameter in the unlikely event the NVM needs to be modified.

This PCI quirk is put in ./drivers/net/e1000e in order to share
defines and structs found in the driver source, and is only applicable
to ICHx GbE LOMs supported by that driver anyway.
Seems to be it is not difficult to put it into drivers/pci/quirks.c,
where it belongs.
