Hi,

A Sun Fire v20z server with the older motherboard revision has the
particular combination of:

PCI bridge: Advanced Micro Devices [AMD] AMD-8131 PCI-X Bridge (rev 12)

Ethernet controller: Broadcom Corporation NetXtreme BCM5703X Gigabit
Ethernet (rev 02)

In this combination, the bge NIC can fail suddenly (every 2-3 days in my
case, may depend on workload) with watchdog timeouts logged.  The link
can lag or go up/down repeatedly, the system can become less responsive
(as seen on a serial tty) and eventually crash.


An upstream changelog entry mentions the same problem occurring with
BCM5704, which is found in a v20z with the newest motherboard revision,
but still the same AMD-8131 PCI-X bridge.

I've tried that patch from 9-STABLE for some weeks and I believe it has
fixed the problem for me too.
