This is a patch for the jgarzik/netdev-2.6 #upstream with Patrick's one was applied.
But the ich8lan stuff was not removed at this patch.

[E1000]: Disable vlan hw accel when promiscuous mode

Even though netdevice is in the promiscuous mode, we should receive all of ingress packets.
This disable the vlan filtering feature when a vlan hw accel configured e1000 device goes into promiscuous mode.
This make packets visible to sniffers though it's not vlan id of itself.
