Thanks. :)

No freeze for >24h, I guess we can conclude the quirk does indeed
fix the random freeze issue as well. :)
I'm all for inclusion.

I'm also currently testing a kernel without the Intel IOMMU feature. This seems
to work, too, but also disables Intel TXT and VT-d...
At least not seeing USB and PCI(e) issues. I'll leave the box running for some
more and will afterwards disable IOMMU as a whole to see if I hit USB and PCI(e)
issues again with that combination.

Best regards,

Mihai
