Just an FYI - I left stuff running overnight and saw lots of this this
AM... ans one from last night:
Dec 26 21:39:54 mail kernel: sky2 0000:06:00.0: error interrupt
status=0x40000008
Dec 27 05:09:39 mail kernel: sky2 0000:06:00.0: error interrupt
status=0x40000008
     

You have hardware/firmware problem, that is beyond the driver.
That status indicates:
   Parity Error/MAC - "This interrupt is intended to indicate a panic event (hardware fault)"

What is your hardware configuration (lspci, kernel config, memory, cpu)?

   

Asus p6t Deluxe V2 (X58 chipset) -VT-D enabled; 12Gb; Intel i7 920, ht 
enabled.
I've attached the lspci and kernel config.

Also, for what it's worth, a windows backup kicked just before this 
happened (scheduled for 5AM) - so consistent with what was crashing the 
system before the patch.
