(sorry for the delay)

I think that the r8169 part should be reverted.

. With it, my 8169 oopsed unexpectedly in rtl8169_reinit_task a few
  seconds after I started a 'ping -q -f -l64 -s 36' and before I did
  anything else. I do not have a clear explanation for the oops yet.

. rtl8169_reset_task will not like it as it could allow two racing
  r8169_rx_interrupt.

. The irq will be enabled later when needed: the modified code is
  only relevant for the reset/reinit tasks.

. After reverting the hunk, the 8168 in the same box stood the same
  stream (> 50kpps in both direction). Everything worked as expected
  when I ifconfiged it down, then up again. Same thing when I pluged
  the cable out then in.

I'll give it more testing/thought.
