IIUC the problem happens with the mainline and dev-queue e1000e
driver, but not with the out-of-tree Intel driver. Since there is a
working driver and there's the potential (at least in principle) for
unifying them or bisecting between them, I have limited interest in
debugging it from scratch.

If it turns out to be a PCI core problem, I would want to know: What's
the PCI topology? "lspci -vv" output for the system? Does it make a
difference if you boot with "pcie_aspm=off"? Collect complete dmesg,
maybe attach it to a kernel.org bugzilla?
