I suspect you can't actually get Gen 3 performance in this 
configuration.  IIUC you should still be limited by the uplink to the host.

Those are some really odd findings but it's at least good it's 
"consistent" between Windows and Linux.

I'd suggest you report this to your manufacturer to investigate.  Sanath 
can keep me honest I don't believe we've seen this problem on the 
reference stuff.
