But it's dependent on an e1000 patch. Maybe we could follow the lead of
ppc and other arch maintainers, and work together?

Typically if there are arch dependencies and little drivers/net changes,
I'll ACK the drivers/net change and then let it go through the arch tree.

In this case, there is far more drivers/net code, so it would make the
most sense to work with you to change the defconfigs to your liking, and
then merge them via netdev when the other E1000 changes go in.
