We’ve found that this issue doesn’t happen to SATA SSD, it only happens  
when NVMe SSD is in use.

Here are the steps:
- Disable NVMe ASPM, issue persists
- modprobe -r e1000e && modprobe e1000e, issue doesn’t happen
- Enabling NVMe ASPM, issue doesn’t happen

As long as NVMe ASPM gets enabled after e1000e gets loaded, the issue  
doesn’t happen.

Do you have any idea how those two are intertwined together?
