e1000e: Disable L1 ASPM power savings for 82573 mobile variants
L1 ASPM link (pci-e link power savings) has significant benefits
(~1W savings when link is active) but unfortunately does not work
correctly on any of the chipsets that have 82573 on mobile platforms
which causes various nuisances:
- eeprom reads return garbage information leading to bad eeprom
checksums
- long ping times (up to 2 seconds)
- complete system hangs (freeze/lockup)
A lot of T60 owners have been plagued by this, but other mobile
solutions also suffer from these symptoms.
Disabling L1 ASPM before we activate the PCI-E link fixes all of
these issues at the cost of some power consumption.
Remove a workaround RDTR adjustment that is no longer needed with
this new one.
