(actually this change was contributed by Marcus Sundberg: see
the Signed-off-by and/or the patch named 
0003-r8169-avoid-thrashing-PCI-conf-space-above-RTL_GIGA.patch)

I doubt that it will break anybody's 8101 (resp. 8102) but I would
welcome a report from a 8101/8102 owner before sending it upstream.

Sorry for disturbing linux-pci.
