Broadcom BCM5703X causing reboot? 4.8-RC2

i've had two reboots in the last 30 mins on a fairly heavly loaded web
server (apache).  the following immediately precedes both reboots (no
more messages after this):


Mar 28 19:15:29 blade7-bc2 /kernel: NMI ISA 24, EISA 0
Mar 28 19:15:29 blade7-bc2 /kernel: Mar 28 19:15:29 blade7-bc2 /kernel:
NMI ISA 24, EISA 0
Mar 28 19:15:37 blade7-bc2 /kernel: bge1: watchdog timeout -- resetting
Mar 28 19:15:38 blade7-bc2 /kernel: bge1: gigabit link up


here's how the cards are detected:


Mar 28 19:18:36 blade7-bc2 /kernel: bge0: <Broadcom BCM5703X Gigabit
Ethernet, ASIC rev. 0x1002> mem 0xfbff0000-0xfbffffff irq 10 at
   device 1.0 on pci1

   device 1.0 on pci2
Mar 28 19:18:36 blade7-bc2 /kernel: bge1: Ethernet address:
00:09:6b:00:50:00

any ideas or help?  these are the first blades we've put into production
(IBM bladecenter)...which isn't boding well at all for using the
remaining 14 blades.  the machines are only pumping out around 9Mb/s.

any help greatly appreciated.
