@whitequark this is sadly normal, everything on bus ff: is Intel having engorged body parts for unnecessary PCI devices 

(To be fair, "look good" is not a criteria for PCI bus/interface design)

@equinox pretty sure it's a debug interface that's not meant to be exposed on motherboards shipped to customers

@whitequark @equinox this is one of my recent xeon workstations https://paste.debian.net/hidden/2b8d5ed8

doesnt look all that different?

@azonenberg

https://paste.debian.net/hidden/cf6f25fc same here lol, just two of them bc dual socket board(and other vendor-specific junk with the exception of like, one device which appears as a usb 3.1 host controller, 08:00.0, PCIE device I added, the rest is just the machine.)
