Not sure why, but with this version my system is running hot (literally 
- higher MB temp & fan speed). This is happening at low throughput. CPU 
utilization is low - no apparent change from prior versions. The only 
indication of something amiss is seen using powertop. With older 
versions, I never noticed (except under load) sky2 interrupt as the main 
source of system activity. With this version, I see:
Top causes for wakeups:
   22.9% (525.4) <kernel IPI> : Rescheduling interrupts
   20.9% (480.0) <interrupt> : sky2@pci:0000:04:00.0
   19.2% (439.2) <interrupt> : extra timer interrupt
   18.9% (432.8) <interrupt> : sky2@pci:0000:06:00.0
   10.4% (237.4) <kernel core> : hrtimer_start_range_ns (tick_sched_timer)
    1.7% ( 38.8) <kernel core> : hrtimer_start (tick_sched_timer)

This is pretty consistent, btw regardless of what's going on.  4:00 is 
the external (100M) interface.

Total network activity while this is going on is about 70KB/sec - mostly 
internal.

I'm using msi interrupt (or think I am, anyway).

Also - I'm seeing what appears to be increased packet latency (not 
surprising) and slightly decreased throughput.
