Ok, this panic, and another one that comes after, are fixed in mainline
by:

  http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c?id=cb06d102327eadcd1bdc480bfd9f8876251d1007
  http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/torvalds/linux.git/commit/drivers/net/ethernet/intel/igb/igb_main.c?id=b709323d2477614823a38c2f2a9a206e087e28fc

With the 3 patches I've sent in my previous e-mail, and those two ones,
I'm able to use the two ports of the igb NIC on my Armada XP DB board
on v3.14. I can ping remote machines, using either of the two
interfaces of the igb NIC that Willy gave me.

I'm not sure why I don't have the non-power-of-two problem for the MBus
windows.
