SRU Justification: Impact: Users of the e1000 driver cannot override default behavior of a bad eeprom checksum, e.g., the driver exits.
Fix Description: Implement a module parameter that allows the driver to proceed with initialization when eeprom checksum fails. The user can then set the MAC address from the command line (if necessary).
