In addition there are a number of Intel cards for which ACS quirks had to be added to the kernel, this was done fairly recently in patches like this one:

    http://www.spinics.net/lists/kernel/msg1951202.html

You may want to check whether a) your card is one of those impacted and b) your kernel has these patches, though your output does not appear to be an exact match for what we were seeing in https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1141399
