Could you provide more information about the crashes?  The
dev_watchdog() code already checks for netif_device_present() and
netif_running() and netif_carrier_ok() before proceeding to check for
TX timeout.  Why would adding some additional checks for PCI errors
cause problems?  Of course the additional checks should only be done
on PCI devices only.  Thanks.
