You might want to instead use a write of LSC to the ICR instead of just
using auto-clear and not enabling LSC. My concern is that you might no
longer be getting link status change events at all. An easy test is to
just unplug/plug the cable a few times, or run "ethtool -r" on the link
partner if connected back to back. You should see messages appear in
the dmesg log indicating that the link state changed.

In addition you should probably clear the IAME bit in the CTRL_EXT
register so that you don't risk masking the interrupts on the ICR read
or write.

You could probably just pop a write to the ICR register here to clear
the LSC bit since you are auto clearing the OTHER bit.

You might want to consider adding a write to IAM here that would limit
the auto masking to same bits you are auto clearing.

I would probably leave E1000_IMS_LSC set in the IMS. No need to
auto-mask it since the mask for other will keep it from triggering more
than once.
