Could not patch drivers for linux-3.15

[GoogleCodeExporter]

Trying to build netmap for linux-3.15.3, I got messages about rejected chunks 
in the patches for e1000e and igb. Also, ixgbe_main.c had been messed up and cc 
produced a couple of warnings.

I have cooked new patches for e1000e, igb and ixgbe, and a small mod for 
if_e1000e_netmap.h (e1000e_down() got an extra argument since 3.15).
Hope you'll find them useful.

Thank you very much for your patches! However, I think that the patches and the 
if_e1000e_netmap.h that you can find in the 'next' branch already address these 
issues. Is it feasible for you to confirm/disconfirm this?

Oh, thank you, the 'next' branch can be built for the 3.15.6 kernel smoothly.
I'd have cloned the branch if I had known of it then :(
