Current e1000e driver doesn't tell nothing when Link Speed is downgraded due to
SmartSpeed.  As a result, users suspect that there is something wrong with
NIC.  If the cause of it is SmartSpeed, there is no means to replace NIC. This
patch make e1000e notify users that SmartSpeed worked.

Thanks, I have added this patch as well to my queue.

Could you please avoid breaking the string both here and in the igb
patch?  This breaks the ability to grep for the warning.

Quoting Documentation/CodingStyle, Chapter 2:
"However, never break user-visible strings such as printk messages,
 because that breaks the ability to grep for them."

I have fixed both patches that are in my queue, since the original
patches generated checkpatch.pl warnings on the strings being on 2
lines.
