Hello Alex, thanks for your efforts! Maybe, you already know that I'm suffering the same problem :-( with a GA-990XA-UD3 (990X chipset).

Disabling 00:14.1 seems to be possible (rmmod pata_atiixp works), but I'm getting errors after rebooting the system (the filesystems haven't been cleanly unmounted during shutdown). Anyway, I would have tested it, but I'm getting a compile error while compiling qemu. It complains about missing pci/header.h while processing hw/vfio_pci.c:49:24. I can't find any pci/header.h. Where should it come from?
