Looking through the history of module 8139too it seems that it was changed from PIO mode to MMIO because PIO mode was causing crashes/lockups. I guess the correct fix would be either to change 8139too to decide between MMIO and PIO during runtime or splitting 8139too into two drivers with PIO mode and with MMIO mode and each driver should list only chipsets that are known to work with that config.
