Device 03:00.0 is your raid controller: 03:00.0 RAID bus controller: LSI Logic / Symbios Logic MegaRAID SAS 1078 (rev 04) For some reason it's trying to read from ffe65000, ffe8a000, ffe89000, ffe86000, ffe87000, ffe84000. Those are in reserved memory regions, so it's not reading an OS allocated buffer, which probably means it's some kind of side-band communication with a management controller. I'd guess it's a BIOS bug and there should be an RMRR covering those accesses.
