No, it didn't. Enabling or disabling virtualization in the BIOS did not make
a difference. It looks like there is a bad DMAR table entry (with address 0)
in the ACPI data. In case you are interested how it looks like:

DMAR @ 0xcb3f3f90

Turns out the i7-4770K doesn't support VT-d, so my current understanding
is that there should be no DMAR table in the first place.
