I guess, you meant the "sky2.c receive_copy" patch which you tested
earlier, or at least you managed to crash DMAR with that patch
before crashing it with Stephen's "lib/dma-debug.c check_sync" patch,
right?

It would be nice to check now if it's re-creatable without the dhcp
exchange yet, or at least dhcp through the switch and the router,
because I suspect there might be something more than a simple drop
on the switch that affects sky2 stability.
