To trigger this bug all I had to do is create some network traffic. By
downloading something or by ssh to a remote machine and running "find .".

While bisecting the bug I noticed that I could not trigger the bug while the
kernel was compiling (cpu at 100%) or when I ssh to a machine in the local
network. With powertop I checked the Cn state of the cpu:

**** network drops ****
-- USB mouse unplugged, traffic with distant machine
Cn                Avg residency       P-states (frequencies)
C0 (cpu running)        (10.2%)         2.00 Ghz     9.0%
polling           0.0ms ( 0.0%)         1.80 Ghz     1.1%
C1 halt           0.0ms ( 0.0%)         1.60 Ghz     0.1%
C2                4.2ms (15.6%)          800 Mhz     1.0%
C3                0.3ms ( 0.1%)          600 Mhz    88.7%
C4                3.8ms (74.1%)


**** NO network drops ****
-- USB mouse unplugged, traffic with machine in local network
Cn                Avg residency       P-states (frequencies)
C0 (cpu running)        (99.9%)         2.00 Ghz    42.4%
polling           0.0ms ( 0.0%)         1.80 Ghz     0.0%
C1 halt           0.0ms ( 0.0%)         1.60 Ghz     0.0%
C2                0.9ms ( 0.1%)          800 Mhz     2.5%
C3                0.0ms ( 0.0%)          600 Mhz    55.0%
C4                0.0ms ( 0.0%)

-- Mouse plugged in
Cn                Avg residency       P-states (frequencies)
C0 (cpu running)        ( 2.8%)         2.00 Ghz     6.2%
polling           0.0ms ( 0.0%)         1.80 Ghz     0.0%
C1 halt           0.0ms ( 0.0%)         1.60 Ghz     0.0%
C2                5.1ms (97.2%)         1400 Mhz     0.0%
C3                0.0ms ( 0.0%)          600 Mhz    93.8%
C4                0.0ms ( 0.0%)


It seems that the network drops only happen whenever the cpu is allowed to go
lower than C2. Somehow plugging in the USB mouse is preventing this.
