Yes, tg3 driver.  All IRQ events (link change, rx, tx) are in status
block.  If tg3 does not see the correct bits and indexes in the status
block, it won't know what to do.  In this case, it doesn't see the link
change bit in status block (I suspect), so it is not acknowledging and
clearing the link change event.  Status block is DMA'ed from the NIC to
memory.

RC stands for what?  Root Complex?  I don't know what an RC driver does.
