My original mail was intended as a head's up notice; I don't have enough
information to fill in every detail and point to a particular root cause so
far.

Dell Rx20 server generation

I have personally seen the issue on a Dell R720xd with a LSI Dell Perc H710
adapter. PCI Id:
mfi0 at pci0:3:0:0: class=0x010400 card=0x1f341028 chip=0x005b1000 rev=0x05
hdr=0x00 but have had private reports from at least two different machines
having the same problem.

All other parameters are variable.
