The latest tg3 driver will print out the dma_rwctrl at probe time. Can
you check the value to make sure ONE_DMA is disabled? Bit 14 sets
ONE_DMA.

Yes, we have years ago but not with the tg3 driver. We set up the 5704
to bridge (or route, I don't remember) one port to the other. It cannot
bridge at line-rate with the ONE_DMA workaround enabled.
