Oh my :) 

I think that might be it... IRQ1269 + 1270 are on the x1 port, and these
are providing eth2 + eth3 - the two high-traffic ports!

      * Two total slots: 
      * (1) Full length PCI Express x8 slot (x8 connector) 
              * Can be replaced with a full-length 64-bit /133MHz PCI-X
                slot 
      * (1) Half-length, low-profile PCI Express x1 slot (x8 connector)

Grrr, identical x8 connectors but different specification - how
misleading!

eth0 + eth1 are doing minimal traffic by comparison, and they have the
x4 slot...  now let's try to swap the switch ports + configs remotely...
