I can use DMI to narrow down to one motherboard. 
Or just let everything through and let user's discover what's unstable, it fails

Could you please get full PCI info lspci -vvxxx for working/non-working 88e8056 (Yukon EC-U)
systems? It might be some PCI Express setup by the BIOS, but so far haven't
found any difference that mattered.

I haven't seen any reports of systems affected by the corruption issue 
so I can't provide any data there.

Here is the full lspci output for a few systems with 88E8056 devices 
that work fine:

Gigabyte P965-S3

Gigabyte P965-S3 (from another user)

Asus P5B deluxe

It looks like these users aren't using MSI?

Also, there maybe some correlation of the problem with IDE AHCI mode.
I am using WD Raptor 10K driver with AHCI, that does Native Command Queuing,
could be some weird IDE interaction. If I turn off AHCI, it works better
(still fails but differently).
