I posted my lspci information here https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=53551

If that's not enough, please tell how can I collect this information.

The SATA issue is discussed here: https://bugzilla.kernel.org/show_bug.cgi?id=43229

According to Intel and Linux kernel developers it poses no threat.
