Thanks for the comments, yes, the hardware supports a legacy receive mode, so compiling our driver (in the kernel) with make SUBDIRS=drivers/net/e1000 CFLAGS+=-DDISABLE_PACKET_SPLIT modules (or something like that, I didn't check it for correctness) will result in a driver that doesn't use packet split. The hardware has been tested extensively in both modes.
