Doubtful.  I know of no instance of GRUB changing the command line.  I 
suppose some script (internal or external) could do it, but the core 
program does not.  Are you in a VM?

The 'resolution' is to comment out the message.

If you want to pursue it more, look at the source code for 
libpciaccess-0.12.1/src/linux_sysfs.c.  There are two places where the 
error could be occurring:   pci_device_linux_sysfs_unmap_range() and 
pci_device_linux_sysfs_map_range().  The problem is probably in unmap.

In any case, add some printf statements to determine the one that is a 
problem.  Since the problem is in an ioctl(), you'll need to dig through 
the kernel to see why it's objecting to MTRRIOC_DEL_ENTRY.

Alternatively, figure out what is setting 'struct pci_device_mapping* 
map' and see if that is being set properly or being corrupted.

Good luck.
