I'm in contact with Realtek and according to them few chip versions
seem to clear MSI-X table entries on resume from suspend. Checking
with them how this could be fixed / worked around.
Worst case we may have to disable MSI-X in general.
I worry that if the chip does this, and somehow MSI-X is enabled and
an interrupt is generated, the chip will write to the cleared out
MSI-X address.  This will either write garbage into memory or cause
a bus error and require PCI error recovery.

It also looks like your test patch doesn't fix things for people who
have tested it.
