I tried your series from step (1) plus my TxDesc change (so I didn't
include the hunk from (2)), and that seems to work fine.  I.e. I don't
need to disable error interrupts anymore to keep it working.

So really the only thing that would need addressing would be the TXDesc
MMIO bug (either by using I/O accesses, or doing the top/bottom writes
the other way round) and we can dump the vendor driver.
I'll turn the top/bottom write the other way around for it looks
like the less intrusive option so far.

The current r8169 serie stood long enough in -mm that I can ask Jeff
to pull it. The link management of the 8136 needs more work but it is
not a showstopper.
