That doesn't really make any sense, you are probably hitting a race
condition somewhere since 1G/4k changes the timing. And possibly
because your new kernel versions boot VFIO faster than older ones.

IIRC there was some VBIOS bug in old versions that caused issues with
vfio.

VFIO should definately not be doing things like this.
