OK, in this trace, both controllers are on the same
bus. The broken
one has 'Capabilities: [100] Advanced Error
Reporting' the other
does not have, and the bridge to this bus has two
more capabilities :
'Capabilities: [100] Virtual Channel' and
'Capabilities: [180] Unknown (5)'.

I don't know whether it can jutify a different
behaviour. Also, maybe this
is caused by a minuscule difference in the BIOS
setup ?
The working board has a different version of the Marvell chip:

$ grep Marvell working-MB 
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 14)
$ grep Marvell broken-MB 
04:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 12)

Not sure if that completely explains the problem because the broken chip on my
system is:
06:00.0 Ethernet controller: Marvell Technology Group Ltd. 88E8056 PCI-E Gigabit Ethernet Controller (rev 14)

I don't know what the differences are between versions.
