When it fixes what does the log say. I'm probably going to back out
the PCI express extended error using the pci_XXX functions.

Does it still happen with linus git tree. If so, a git bisect might

The TX timeout is a symptom of a common bug still not fixed where
the transmitter stops. I'm working on reproducing it on my hardware and switches,
because without a reproducible test, its just shooting in the dark and
that isn't working.
