I believe, the messages/behaviour was slowing the system or so,
not just giving messages, at least I have seen this on X201T.


The workaround is to boot with kernel parameter  intel_iommu=igfx_off

e.g.   set in /etc/default/grub
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="intel_iommu=igfx_off"
and then  re-run  sudo update-grub and reboot.

[I tend to remove "quiet splash" but you could of course have
GRUB_CMDLINE_LINUX_DEFAULT="quiet splash intel_iommu=igfx_off"


Playing the Git-Bisect game would be helpful if somebody could
find *exactly* where the problem was introduced ..

Bug#962003: *ERROR* Failed to wait for idle; VT'd may hang

Hi. I just installed Debian bullseye daily today (linux-image-amd64
version 5.10.40-1), and ran into this problem on a Lenovo X201. The
message repeats every other second or so. I don't notice any other
problem except for the repeated messages, fortunately.

I have tried installing the non-free intel iucode and 915 firmware
packages (intel-microcode and firmware-misc-nonfree), but they don't
appear to make a difference.
