What boards have we seen this on?  It's quite possible this is:
I can reproduce on an Asus P5K with a Core 2 Duo E6600.

lspci identifies the controller as:
  02:00.0 Ethernet controller: Attansic Technology Corp. L1 Gigabit
  Ethernet Adapter (rev b0)

dmesg notes the PCI-DMA mapping implementation:
  PCI-DMA: Using software bounce buffering for IO (SWIOTLB)
I had a hunch this was on Intel.  I'd rather just disable this when
swiotlb is in use, unless we get more complaints.  It's probably
ultimately a BIOS quirk anyway.
So far we have reports from both camps:

Asus M2N8-VMX (AM2):	1 report of lockup

Asus P5K (LGA775):	2 reports of lockups

The common denominator in these reports is 4GB RAM.
