I just noticed there were questions at the bottom of the logs. The power savings and CPU scaling need to be balanced with performance. The time between packets is long enough for the CPU to go to sleep, even at 10G. I can't make any suggestions without knowing your setup, but for full performance we often suggest turning off all CPU scaling and sleep states in both the CPU and PCIe bus.
You should try the latest stable kernel to test your system. I think the rebooting on traffic shows you may have a kernel issue and not one with networking.
