I just did a large number of kernel-build-and-installs with frame
pointers over NFS over the errant link. No problems at all.

I think we can say this fixes it (works around it?)

Does this implicate the gigabit switch I'm talking to, or is it a kernel
bug? (It looks like the cheap Realteks at the other ends of this link
don't support pause frames at all: at least ethtool -a gives
-EOPNOTSUPP, but maybe they simply can't be turned off... hm, r8169.c
vaguely suggests that it supports them but can't turn them off without
source hacking.)
