I tried this patch on the test machine but after rebooting I lost remote
access -- details will have to wait until tonight.

Independent of the result of this test I planned to go to the office,
this evening to also do this test on the VX50 and to also try Yinghai's
suggestion to reset the PCIe link on it.  I'd like to see if the
behavior of the VX50 differs from that of the test machine.

Probably obvious but did I undestand correctly that Yinghai's patches + 

echo 1 > /sys/bus/.../pcie_link_disable
echo 0 > /sys/bus/.../pcie_link_disable

is exactly identical to this?

setpci -s ... 0xc0.b=0x18
setpci -s ... 0xc0.b=0x08

Please let me know if there is anything else you want me to test on the
VX50.
