Are there any other errors reported by the 5754 such as a PCIe 
completion timeout in the Advanced Error Uncorrectable Status
Register?  I recall an issue with another Nvidia chipset and 
the 5754 where the system BIOS incorrectly configured the
Hypertransport unitID field to a value of 0x20 which would
prevent our diagnostics from running.  PCI configuration and
memory-mapped I/O worked correctly but DMA operations such as
sending RX'd frames would fail.  MSI might fall into this latter
category and could be causing this error.

The important thing would be to check for a Completion Timeout
in the 5754.
