Description
Hello,
When I try to use two of the X540-AT2 cards one system, I get the SMBI semaphore error in the system logs and unable to use the cards. Any idea on how to overcome that?

Research direction
No source file or test is named. Start by reproducing the issue with two X540-AT2 cards and inspect the system logs for the SMBI semaphore error, then trace the relevant ixgbe driver handling. Done means establishing the cause and documenting or implementing a verified way for both cards to operate.
