I turned off VT-d, and the problem went away.
I turned on VT-d, and turned off all of the sub-options:
	Interrupt remapping
	Coherency
	ATS support
	Pass-through DMA
and the problem remained.

So them I did a hail mary, and upgraded my GA-X79-UP4 from the F2 BIOS
to the beta F5c BIOS.

VT-d and all of the sub-features are turned on, and I'm on my 6th full
read pass over the entire RAID array (when it would crash before 15%
before), with no problem.

Hardware problem, indeed.

Thanks for the pointer; I wouldn't have thought of trying a BIOS
upgrade without it.
