Well nothing else I can think of, to be honest here's where a ticket with VMware should be the next steps. IRQ seems to be the culprit, but not sure if that's a driver or firmware or ESXi causing the device not to load.
You could try one other thing though:
- Power off all VM's on the host
- Power down the host
- Remove the power cable
- Press and hold the power button for about 10 secs
- Connect the power cable back on
- Power on the system and check
Long shot and honestly, I don't expect it to work, but worth a try!
