Interesting, having introduced /etc/modprobe.d/forcedeth containing:

options forcedeth max_interrupt_work=15

when the system is under subsequent heavy load I see:

Aug 22 21:32:18 titan kernel: eth-gig1: too many iterations (16) in
nv_nic_irq.

So it seems that value is not high enough.  Or there's some other
problem.

It's possible this isn't an amd64-specific issue so I'll perhaps re-post
elsewhere, however if anyone has any further comments, that'd be
helpful!

Cheers,

Dave.
