Never tried earlier than 2.6.31 - new machine. I had a bunch of
issues on 2.6.31, including sky2 DMAR errors... so probably not a 2.6.32
regression.

I'm not sure my crash-and-burn runs yesterday included the pskb_may_pull
patch :(

Going to rerun with these patches and with and without MMAP. Will also
retry both with jumbo frames if possible.

If MMAP then some "alternative" too. But first no MMAP.

Another things IMHO worth to try: a sky2 module parameter
"disable_msi=1", and CONFIG_DMAR off.

Ok - that'd be with or without MMAP enabled? (note that so-far, without
MMAP I'm not seeing any errors - throughput is running about half what I
was seeing with MMAP enabled (before crashing that is). CPU is also way
busier (also to be expected). One other observation - I had been seeing
lots of DNS errors - IPV6 related format errors I really didn't think
much of it as they were mostly .ru and seemed spam-related, but now I
don't see any. Haven't updated bind; doubt the world has changed - so
perhaps this is related to the network issue.
