Please stop talking about VMWare. That OS has a problem that was fixed by a work-around in the driver. What the VMWare guys saw has never been seen in Linux. It has _nothing_ to do with this bug.
As Jesse said in his mail we are working on some NVM protection patches for our driver. This won't fix the root cause of writing over our NVM area but it might help to find what/who is writing all over it.
For comment #30 and #31, if the system did not see one of the gfx driver panics our NVM remains fine. So if that panic does not happen our NIC NVM remains fine as well.
As soon as the patches are out of test we'll be pushing them upstream. We'll post links to this BZ once this happens today.
