If I understood correctly (2015/11/21) you had a working system with a stock
4.2 or 4.3 kernel and the r8169.c from 1e874e041fc7c222cbd85b20c4406070be1f687a
(i.e. da78dbff2e05630921c551dbbc70a4b7981a8fff "r8169: remove work from irq
handler." parent) patched with the snippet below, right ?

If so, while not perfect, it should at least mitigate the "can't upgrade
kernel" part.
