--- Comment #3 from Terry Kennedy <terry-freebsd@glaver.org> ---
(In reply to Peter Eriksson from comment #2)

X2APIC has been off on this system since it was installed - I see the same USB
symptoms that you reported if I enable it. But I get the mpr(4) errors in
either case.

I updated the BIOS and OS Collector (which isn't used on FreeBSD) - everything
else was already up-to-date = and repeated the tests, with the same result.

Since I suspect this is timing-related, I enabled Hyperthreading (which I
normally force off in the BIOS) and the system booted (at least this one time)
without the mpr(4) hang.

Again, this system had been working for some time, but then started hanging
with the "out of chain frames" at boot time. Dell support moved the controller
to a different slot, which "fixed" the problem, at least until the clang 9.x
import, which apparently changed the timing enough to make the problem show up
again.

I think all of the above points to some timing issue in the mpr(4) driver.
Hopefully someone with knowledge of that driver's inner workings will see this
and comment. I can continue to make the system available (via iDRAC port, so
the developer can reset it, change BIOS settings, etc.) if needed for someone
to diagnose this issue.
