I have checked all of my ixgbe interfaces and they all report that now 
flow controll is in place, as you can see:

root at zfsha01colt:/root# dladm show-linkprop -p flowctrl ixgbe0
LINK         PROPERTY        PERM VALUE DEFAULT        POSSIBLE
ixgbe0       flowctrl        rw   no no             no,tx,rx,bi
root at zfsha01colt:/root# dladm show-linkprop -p flowctrl ixgbe1
LINK         PROPERTY        PERM VALUE DEFAULT        POSSIBLE
ixgbe1       flowctrl        rw   no no             no,tx,rx,bi
root at zfsha01colt:/root# dladm show-linkprop -p flowctrl ixgbe2
LINK         PROPERTY        PERM VALUE DEFAULT        POSSIBLE
ixgbe2       flowctrl        rw   no no             no,tx,rx,bi
root at zfsha01colt:/root# dladm show-linkprop -p flowctrl ixgbe3
LINK         PROPERTY        PERM VALUE DEFAULT        POSSIBLE
ixgbe3       flowctrl        rw   no no             no,tx,rx,bi


I then checked the ports on the Nexus switches and found out, that they 
do have outbound-flowcontrol enabled, but that is the case on any of 
those Nexus ports, including those, where this issue doesn't exist.
