To elaborate further: Leaving both pcie2a and pcie3a enabled will lead
to rcu stalls and the board fails to boot when both are enabled. We
have the latest firmware that we've been able to get from QC.
Disabling one of the pcie nodes works around the boot issue. There's
nothing interesting on pcie2a on the development board, and pcie3a is
enabled because it has 10GB ethernet that works upstream.

The interrupt storm on pcie3a can still occur on this platform, however
that's a separate issue.
