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.
