Well, the hardware appears to be part of the issue too. I don't think
it's a coincidence that Gabriel has the problem on 2xEPYC, I have it on
2xXeon and the previous reported had it on a Core 2 Quad that internally
has two dies.

I've not yet tested your disable CONFIG_SWIOTLB fix yet -- might try it
over the weekend and report what happens.

Cheers,
