I'm not aware of any working version.  I'm exercising in the sysfs
SR-IOV configuration, which I think appeared in v3.8 or so.

I played with this a little more and found this:

1) Magma card in z420, connected to chassis containing X540: fails
(original report)
2) X540 in z420, Magma card in z420, connected to empty chassis: fails
3) X540 in z420, Magma card in z420 but no cable to chassis: works

The only difference I've noticed so far between configs 2 & 3 are
different bus numbers and different IRQ assignments:

Config 2 (failing):
  pci 0000:0c:00.0: [8086:1528] type 00 class 0x020000
  pci 0000:0c:00.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0xdac00000-0xdadfffff 64bit pref]
  ixgbe 0000:0c:00.0: irq 82 for MSI/MSI-X
  IRQ 79: 79
  IRQ 80: eth0
  IRQ 81: snd_hda_intel
  IRQ: 82-93 eth1-TxRx-0 through eth1-TxRx-11
  IRQ 94: eth1

Config 3 (working):
  pci 0000:04:00.0: [8086:1528] type 00 class 0x020000
  pci 0000:04:00.0: reg 0x10: [mem 0xdac00000-0xdadfffff 64bit pref]
  ixgbe 0000:04:00.0: irq 75 for MSI/MSI-X
  IRQ 72: ahci
  IRQ 73: eth0
  IRQ 74: snd_hda_intel
  IRQ 75-86: eth1-TxRx-0 through eth1-TxRx-11
  IRQ 87: eth1

I'll try to narrow this down a little more; I'm just giving you this
preliminary info in case it rings any bells for you.
