It seems like the issue is the fact that e1000_io_error_detected is
calling e1000e_down without the e1000_free_irq() bit. Instead of doing
this couldn't you simply add the following to e1000_is_slot_reset in
the "result = PCI_ERS_RESULT_DISCONNECT" case:
    if (netif_running(netdev)
        e1000_free_irq(adapter);

Alternatively we could look at freeing and reallocating the IRQs in
the event of an error like we do for the e1000e_pm_freeze and
e1000e_pm_thaw cases. That might make more sense since we are dealing
with an error we might want to free and reallocate the IRQ resources
assigned to the device.

Thanks.
