PCIE, and it might simply be having issues. :/
One thing I haven't looked into is how exactly the kernel maps IO
requests to queue slots -- does each CPU get its own pile of slots to
use up? I _think_ it does, but it's been a few months since I poked
at mq. Hmm... max_sectors_kb=128, which isn't unusually odd. Guess
I'll keep digging.
The other disks seems fairly normal, at least.
