Looks like some driver tried to access I/O port 0x2e without checking
whether there was possibly anything there first.

Looks like it might be the f71805f driver, whatever that is...
Hmmm, drivers/hwmon/f71805f.c looks like it, and indeed it does go
poking around in PCI I/O space with no checks whatever.

I suggest you turn off CONFIG_SENSORS_F71805F.

It doesn't help, of course, that CONFIG_HWMON defaults to y. :(
