Hello Dan,

We'll take a look at it.  This was tested here and has gone through multiple 
revisions internally but I'm pretty sure we didn't see this.   Can you provide 
some info so we can try and repro this?  Can you provide a copy of your .config 
so we can see what modules are enabled.  Also an output of lspci -vvv would be 
useful as well.

Thanks,

Carolyn
