At this point it continually invokes the "#1" block because the msk_control from msk_stat_ring[512] is always zero and the network hangs immediately. This suggests the Yukon Ultra 2 88E8057 can't access the next 4096 memory block, but why not?

Yes, it seems the status LE block is not updated at all for
MSK_STAT_ALIGN == 4096 and some elements of the status block looks
suspicious(put index increases but the value in the location is 0).
I vaguely guess this indicates there are DMA alignment and/or DMA
boundary issues.
The maximum number of elements of the status block is 4096 so the
maximum size of the status block is 32KB.  For i386, msk(4) uses
8KB status block(1024 elements).  For 64bit architectures, the
block size is increased to 16KB(2048 elements).
Probably the safe alignment value for the status block would be
32K.  This looks excessive value to me but it shall avoid guessing
DMA boundary issue.

Thanks a lot. I've attached a diff which sets the alignment of
TX/RX ring and status block to 32KB.  Not sure whether this also
addresses other msk(4) related watchdog timeouts.
