This patchset broke my internet, with all sorts of weird effects like
Samba clients having problems to talk to the server and only partially
working DNS resolution (CDNs broken, Amazon unreachable).

After two reboots to/from .12/.13 (to rule out temporary internet
brokenness) the problem has been identified as:

After reverting only this patch (turning r8169 back to 3.8.12) things
again behave as expected with the rest of .13. So far no other regressions
detected.

This patch should probably be removed from 3.9.2-rc as well.
