To be precise: first it forwards traffic just fine, without interrupt storm
and speed may raise over 22MByte/s but after a minute or less,
interrupt storm begins. By default, hw.intr_storm_threshold is 1000
and it does not help increasing it upto 100,000. If I set it to zero
(disable throttling), the device locks up solid when storm occurs:
no traffic forwarding, no ping replies, even console is dead.
Power cycle is required to revive it. This is 100% repeatable.

I have PMC (performance monitoring counters) compiled in kernel.
Now can I try to debug this?
