Re-looking at the code, I'd guess that some IRQ status line is getting
stuck high, but I don't see why -- we should acknowledge all outstanding
interrupts each time through the loop, whether we care about them or
not.

Could reproduce a problem with the following patch applied, and send the
full dmesg, please?
Here is what I get.

r8169 screaming irq status 00000085 mask 0000ffff event 0000803f napi 0000001d
