With your patches applied to 2.6.38-rc6, I have gathered some of the
info you requested from Seblu as well, I hope it's helpful:

1: see attachment

2: I'm not sure how to check the size of the packets, but I'm just
fetching a (large) file over http/tcp, so I guess they are mostly of the
size of my MTU which is 1500 looking at ifconfig output

For the other vmstat/ethtool/interrupts output, I started the following
commands remotely via ssh a second or two before starting the download,
and the machine locked up a few seconds later:

# vmstat 1
# while true; do echo .; ethtool -S eth0; sleep 0.5; done
(I assume you actually meant the -S option to ethtool btw, -s seemed to
be a noop)
# while true; do echo .; cat /proc/interrupts; sleep 0.5; done

I've attached the outputs of the above commands

I also included dmesg output generated during the transfer (the actual
transfer starts at the 256~ printk timestamp I believe), the dmesg is
probably missing a second or so at the end before machine locked up
