Igor,
  We were able to reproduce the bug in our setup. The issue is with kernel bonding driver. Though the Emulex be2net driver instructs the kernel to limit the size of TSO packets, the bonding driver does not do this. When stack transmits a packet of size greater than 65535, the network controller raises a UE. This issue can occur with any bonding mode.

   I have posted a patch for the bonding driver on linux upstream kernel community. Once it is accepted, i will push the same patch in ubuntu too.

Thanks,
Sarvesh
