[PATCH] e1000: No-delay link detection at interface up
Currently after an interface up, the link state is detected 2 seconds later
when the first watchdog timer runs. This patch changes that by triggering
the hardware to generate a link-change interrupt from the up() function
instead. This has the result that the link state gets detected immediately
and without races. This has the potential to speed up booting since a normal
distribution boot process waits for a link before DHCP is attempted.
