That's interesting, I PXE boot my system from one NIC then use a
different NIC for the iSCSI root.  The PXE boot NIC now screams like
this, _until_ I attach it to vfio, then it quiets down.

Not really without some digging.  I wonder if it's a new event each time
or if something is just not clearing a previous event.  ISTR that a boot
used to often, but not always, generate a couple faults between the
IOMMU being enabled and the NIC driver being loaded.  All the faults I
see are to the same address, so my guess is that it's getting replayed.
Thanks,
