Yeah, I think problem is somewhere below, audio and gpu only gets hit
by the problem. Even with PCI-Ex16 set to 8x/8x and all C-states
disabled I just got all onboard USB controllers fail. I have
additional PCI-Ex1 USB3.0 controller that saves me from that and the
machine works no kernel panic. Maybe we should try 8x/4x/4x PCI mode?
