This is caused by the fact that we run interrupt handlers by default with interrupts enabled unless the driver reuqests the interrupt with the IRQF_DISABLED set. The NIC handlers do not set this flag, so simultaneous interrupts can nest unlimited and cause the stack overflow. The only safe counter measure is to run the interrupt handlers with interrupts disabled. We can't switch to this mode in general right now, but it is safe to do so for MSI interrupts. Force IRQF_DISABLED for MSI interrupt handlers.
