Thanks for chiming in. I'm not familiar with either of the issues you
mentioned. Do you have any references where I could read up on them?

Artem's system has a PCIe-to-PCI bridge (not a PCI-to-PCIe bridge) at
05:00.0, but it leads to [bus 06] and there's nothing on bus 06, so I
don't think that's the problem.

And the issue affects both USB and a hard drive, so I suspect it's
more than just SATA. Artem, did you identify the PCI devices leading
to your USB and hard drive? I can't remember if I've actually seen
that.
