that's bad to begin with :) - please send those separately so I can fasttrack them into e1000e and e1000 where applicable. But yes, I'm very inclined to merge more features into e1000e than e1000. I intend to put multiqueue support into e1000e, as *all* of the hardware that it will support has multiple queues. Putting in any other performance feature like tx batching would absolutely be interesting.
