Subject: [PATCH 05/12] r8169: confusion between hardware and IP header alignment

The rx copybreak part is straightforward.

The align field in struct rtl_cfg_info is related to the alignment
requirements of the DMA operation. Its value is set at 2 to limit the
scale of possible regression but my old v1.21 8169 datasheet claims a
8 bytes requirements (that was never followed by the driver of course)
and the 8101/8168 go with a plain 8 bytes alignments. Yuck, yuck...
