If my memory serve me right there were a couple of reports about
xl(4) watchdog timeout in past. The message was added by me to
track down possible cause of watchdog timeouts. The message means
driver lost Tx completion interrupts but driver noticed that the
queued frames were successfully transmitted such that it didn't
reset the controller and showed the informational message.

To further narrow down the issue, would you show me the following
information?
 o full 'dmesg' output
 o 'pciconf -lcbv' output
 o 'devinfo -rv | grep phy' output
