Oh, this isn't on a net6501, it's a server, hardware RAID, 24Gb RAM and
all. OS installation was via CD-ROM, then via network, but that was OK
because this was back in 2.6.30 days, and the kernel only started
turning ASPM on for *anything* around 2.6.35. This problem immediately
appeared and has not left since :(

The e1000e guys have given up trying to track this: it's not an e1000e
driver bug but something in the PCI layer. Nobody has brought this to
the attention of the PCI guys yet (and I blame myself for this, I had a
kernel bugzilla bug open with lots and lots of painstakingly-collected
data on this problem, and I didn't tell the PCI guys and then kernel.org
was penetrated, and now kernel.org bugzilla is gone, possibly never to
return.)
