There are some error logs that I don't understand on a newly installed PVE7.4

I have a Dell PowerEdge R220 (with H310 raid card in non-raid mode, BCM 5720 dual port onboard NIC). And I see some error logs in jrounalctl -b. Can someone tell me what these errors mean?

1. Is this an error? What does this mean?

Code: 
Sep 12 07:46:36 r220 kernel: Kernel command line: initrd=\EFI\proxmox\5.15.111-1-pve\initrd.img-5.15.111-1-pve root=ZFS=rpool/ROOT/pve-1 boot=zfs
Sep 12 07:46:36 r220 kernel: Unknown kernel command line parameters "boot=zfs", will be passed to user space.

2. It seems that it is Intel's fault. I can not fix it. Right?

Code: 
Sep 12 07:46:36 r220 kernel: MDS CPU bug present and SMT on, data leak possible. See https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/admin-guide/hw-vuln/mds.html for more details.

3. What does it mean?

Code: 
Sep 12 07:46:36 r220 kernel: ACPI: [Firmware Bug]: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored

4. A VPD problem. Google tells me it just means VPD is disabled, I can ignore it. And I can not fix it. Right?

Code: 
Sep 12 07:46:36 r220 kernel: pci 0000:01:00.0: [Firmware Bug]: disabling VPD access (can't determine size of non-standard VPD format)

5. What does it mean? How can I fix it?

7. It seems I installed a SATA2 disk on a SATA3 port. Can I ignore it?

Code:

I updated BIOS, iDRAC, and NIC driver of R220, and upgraded PVE to 8. But nothing changed.

For this question, I added acpi_osi=Linux to /etc/kernel/cmdline, and I got this now:
Code:

Wow ... a lot of questions and you can't do anything about it. This are hardware errors built into your machine and they are normal. All of them. You can get rid of some of them by buying new hardware, yet that'll introduce new errors then or down the line when new hardware errors or strange behavior is detected and fixes were introduced in new kernel versions.

Welcome to the real world of hardware interaction that is full of errors, bugs and fixes in software. Best to NOT look at all of those errors.

Can I pretend not to know these problems and continue using PVE?
Which problem I mentioned above can not be ignored?
:p
 
It seems I only need to care about errors:

I searched for these questions. It seems that they only affect power management and do not affect normal system operation?

Today, I installed RHEL7 which is in the support list of the DELL R220 server. But this problem still exists in journalctl -b of RHEL7.:confused:
 
After days of research, I can answer my question:

1. It is info, not error. I can ignore it.
2. It is Intel's fault. their CPU has some hardware bugs. I can not solve it.
3. It is a historical legacy issue related to BIOS and does not require attention.
4. Broadcom's fault, and It is been there for a long time. I have nothing to do.
5. It is warning. No EISA is connected to the system so nothing can be done.
6. This message is about some drivers being denied access to devices controlled by the ACPI. Someone tells me I can ignore it.
7. I installed a SATA2 disk to a SATA3 port. And I can ignore it.
8. It is info, not error. I can ignore it.
9-11. R220 has no Intel Virtual Button in BIOS, so this error just should be there. I have nothing to do.
12. It is warning and nothing can be done.
