Just to clarify for e1000 message, this is a "false hang" as indicated
by .status = 1 and TDH==TDT and both are still moving, which means
adapter is still transmitting.

In this case it appears that the system took longer than two seconds to
allow the e1000 driver to clean up packets that it transmitted, in fact
it appears to be delayed by about a constant 700 jiffies or so.

So I don't think this is any e1000 problem as it appears the rest of
your thread confirms, as it appears the system gets too busy trying to
traverse your tc filters and can't work on e1000 driver packet clean up.
