Users report that under VMWare, er32(TIMINCA) returns zero.
This causes division by zero at init time as follows:
==> incvalue = er32(TIMINCA) & E1000_TIMINCA_INCVALUE_MASK;
for (i = 0; i < E1000_MAX_82574_SYSTIM_REREADS; i++) {
/* latch SYSTIMH on read of SYSTIML */
systim_next = (cycle_t)er32(SYSTIML);
systim_next |= (cycle_t)er32(SYSTIMH) << 32;
time_delta = systim_next - systim;
temp = time_delta;
====> rem = do_div(temp, incvalue);
This change makes kernel survive this, and users report that
NIC does work after this change.
Since on real hardware incvalue is never zero, this should not affect
real hardware use case.
