FWIW, as I got no response - there were other people facing the issue as
well:

https://forum.proxmox.com/threads/proxmox-8-kernel-6-2-16-4-pve-ixgbe-driver-fails-to-load-due-to-pci-device-probing-failure.131203/


Apparently this might be some hardware quirk, therefore I'm not sure if
the internal EfiMemoryMappedIO reservation logic should be reviewed, or
some quirk handling to be added, or maybe some CONFIG_option introduced.

Anyone please?
