Subject: e1000: disable TSO on the 82544 with slab debugging
From: Jesse Brandeburg <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
CONFIG_DEBUG_SLAB changes alignments of the data structures the slab
allocators return. These break certain workarounds for TSO on the 82544.
Since DEBUG_SLAB is relatively rare and not used for performance sensitive
cases, the simplest fix is to disable TSO in this special situation.
