I'm adding e1000-devel and intel-wired-lan as they would be a better
place for an ixgbe question.

It might be useful if you could also provide an "lspci -vvv" for the
system, or at least for the network ports so that we can verify if
enough resources are present in terms of memory to allocate memory for
MMIO on all the devices.  Also any info you could provide on the
platform itself would be useful as it is possible what you are seeing
is a resource constraint as the GSI error seems to indicate ACPI is
having some sort of issue.
