Drop capabilities bit in emulated e1000

[dann frazier]

This is necessary to pass the PCI/PCI Express Compliance Test required by SVVP.

SRU Justification:
1. Impact: PCI compliance test fails
2. How bug was addressed: a patch was accepted upstream which removes a single bad statement.
3. Patch: see comment #1
4. TEST CASE: PCI compliance test
5. regression potential: If there is a regression it should manifest itself when running kvm with the default e1000 nic.

Patch didn't cleanly apply to current qemu-kvm in Oneiric, but I believe this is rebased suitably.

Thanks.

Here's a backport for lucid. I've tested that this correctly disables the capabilities bit on a fresh lucid install.

I've also verified that the above fix passes the PCIHCT test that was previously failing on Lucid (and Oneiric).

Hello dann, or anyone else affected,

Accepted qemu-kvm into lucid-proposed, the package will build now and be available in a few hours. Please test and give feedback here. See https://wiki.ubuntu.com/Testing/EnableProposed for documentation how to enable and use -proposed. Thank you in advance!
