Note that this is just a failure in the driver self-test.  It has
nothing to do with the processor cache (though there are other problems
with PCI and the processor cache in KVM mode).

Do not use this QEMU device.  The emulation is incomplete and it's slow.
 Use virtio-scsi or megasas instead.  Still, I'm not sure that would
work with KVM; as far as I know, most work on the ARM PCI host bridge
was done using UEFI firmware.
