Hi, I have this motherboard and the same problem, I've naively looked for the string
in the kernel sources and commented the line, and it works fine (hdparm can make
the driver use DMA again, no corruption after applying this patch on successive
kernels for months)

The test must be here for a reason, I'm just saying it works in my case if some
people need a workaround.

The exact warning is :

kernel: PCI: Device 00:1f.1 not available because of resource collisions
