Conversely, any reason to use the RealTek r1000 driver?

FWIW, RealTek emailed me about merging r1000.  I suggested that, if the 
register sets were similar, that r8169 should be updated instead, to 
preserve compatibility with existing users (and not lose existing work).

Sounds good to me.  I'm not terribly interested in seeing
multiple drivers for the same hardware in the kernel tree.
