It's in zorro8390.mod.c, but *.mod.c is listed in .gitignore, so it must be
a remnant of my experiments with git and older branches. I wonder why it has
been compiled, though, I did not change any of the Makefiles.

I did none of that, but to be sure, I should build another kernel with
Geert's patch on a clean checkout.
I installed a few packages, rebooted to check if the network is set up
automatically (it is!), and installed more packages. Now I am upgrading
some more and I see reasonable download speeds: 140kB/s. However, I also saw
this flying by:
eth0: Interrupted while interrupts are masked! isr=0x0 imr=0x0.
Three times in about one minute. The whole system is a bit more responsive
now (I an log in on a second console without a long delay). I could not log
in with ssh yet, though I get a little bit further than yesterday, there is
some response already from the remote system.
