82598, 92599, X540 and X550 based adapters use the ixgbe driver and this detail in not relevant to the e1000e driver documentation.  There is no reason to include these "NOTES:" in this file.

Is there any real reason to remove this?  It seems inconsistent with most of our other driver documentation files that discuss parameters (e100.txt, e1000.txt, igb.txt, ixgb.txt.)  However, ixgbe.txt and i40e.txt do not seem to mention default for parameters defaults (well they barely mention module parameters) so maybe removing the statement of default makes sense for consistency with the later driver versions.

Again, is there any real reason to remove this?  Ok, I'll stop mentioning it when I hit this on each and every module parameter removal of the "Default Value:" description.  I suppose removing it saves me time on verifying the listed value is indeed correct.
