I'm checking with the system co-owner (the other co-owner is another
Institute...), and that may take a while, because they've set up samba on
it, so there's a number of folks hitting this box.

I see in the last message that I could set intremap=off on the grub kernel
command line. It then mentions "If intr-remap is turned off, you'll also
have to add the kvm parameter to the boot line, or in an /etc/modprobe.d
file, allow_unsafe_assigned_interrupts . Otherwise, kvm device assignment
will fail.". Now, the only kvm I know is the virtual machine package; as
there are no VMs running on this system, is this relevant to me?
