Thank you for the suggestion to test mainline.

Regarding the kernel parameters: The test is run on the host and not in a virtual machine, for completeness I have removed the iommu and vf related kernel parameters and they do not affect the outcome of the test.

Unfortunately using the mainline kernel does not appear to help on the machines in question:
