via vl800 pcie card 
kernel parameter iommu=pt
ethtool -K xxx sg off
ifconfig xxx mtu 4060 up

stable so far, it's way past the point that it usually crashes.

i'll do proper testing tomorrow


iommu=pt   bah !

When using the ax88179 connected via the via based card the whole system
gets brought down after a while i got this my system log.

I'm going to take a break and see if I can narrow anything more down
tomorrow. This log is in reverse because of the wonderful way journalctl
works.

I suppose I could try using iommu=pt as a kernel boot parameter but that
doesn't sound like a safe thing to do.
