Subject: [PATCH] r8169: fix invalid register dump

From: Peter Wu <lekensteyn@...il.com>

For some reason, my PCIe RTL8111E onboard NIC on a GA-Z68X-UD3H-B3
motherboard reads as FFs when reading from MMIO with a block size
larger than 7. Therefore change to reading blocks of four bytes.

Hi,

Personally I dislike the repetition of this patch, a hypothetical
`memcpy_fromio_block(bytes, tp->mmio_addr, 4)` would look cleaner, but
perhaps I am doing something wrong because apparantly nobody had a need
for reading multiple blocks from IO?

Anyway, this patch (with patched ethtool) allows `ethtool -d` to be more
useful for the mentioned chip.

Regards,
Peter
