msk(4) will try to use MSI unless not configured to do so the IRQ
wouldn't be shared with other devices.  If msk(4) is using MSI you
should see a high irq number greater than or equal to 256 in vmstat
output.  Given that you're seeing issues with MSI, try disabling
MSI for msk(4).  Add the following tunable to /boot/loader.conf and
reboot.

hw.msk.msi_disable="1"

Let me know whether that makes any difference for you.
