Subject: [PATCH 02/07] r8169: Support for byte queue limits

Changes to r8169 to use byte queue limits.

This driver got BQL disabled, cause there were some issues in the old byte
queue limit code itself which resulted in errors.

Here is the old thread for the revert of commit 036daf..7a0060:
http://thread.gmane.org/gmane.linux.network/238202

The rtl8169_private tx_stats struct is not touched by this patch now.

I have tested this patch on a small server in home use and it's working with
no problems for about two weeks now. (kernel 3.10.10 and fq_codel enabled)
