I just tried intel's latest em driver (3.2.18) with 6 interfaces on a 
4.10 system on a dell 2850 server.
(E7525 chipset I think)
The result was the system hanging (couldn't do anything other than enter 
the debugger).
backtraces showed tight loops in the em interrupt routines.

Not sure if it's related yet.
