Patch 1 is an update version of:

transmit packets are also defered in latest version.

Another question unrelated to this series:
Does 82540EM still supported by Win2k12?
The following link shows that 82540EM were not supported in Win2k12.
https://downloadcenter.intel.com/SearchResult.aspx?lang=eng&ProdId=983
The oldest 825x card supported by 2k12 seems 82574.

If yes, workaround a buggy driver may be endless work in the future.
w2k12r2 datacenter edition founds QEMU e1000 card just fine
(checked by observation, very basic browser test).
Though I know some troubles with Parallels emulation of 82574
in w2k12 on driver size. The driver is really old and not
supported.
Thus from my opinion switching to this device might not be
a good choice.
