This is a relatively known issue.  I see it on my Talos II (regular,
currently single-CPU).  It only affects performance, it doesn't affect
system stability, in my case anyway.  Some others have reported NVMe
crashes, but I haven't reproduced on my hardware.  We haven't yet
determined the cause of the missing interrupt, but it happens often,
and causes things to hang for a bit before continuing.

We still have a bit of work to do on the stability and performance
sides on POWER, particularly with the interrupt controller (XIVE) and
the PCIe controller.
