This panic happens (almost?) immediately after starting TCP traffic between the cxgb nic on this system and another. We also got at least one crash on a custom/tainted 2.6.20.12 kernel, but it would run for at least a few minutes at ~1Gbps first.
I think my serial console chomped some of this..but it's very reproducible, so if you need more info I can make the terminal wider and do it again. I'm not sure it matters..but the peer NIC (directly connected w/fibre) is a similar cxgb NIC but with TOE support (the longer, more expensive one).
