I think its important that we have this patch for 2.4 kernel as well, as
it will enable the PCI express devices to access extended config space
(above 256 bytes), where all Advance feature of PCI Express config
registers resides.


Are there any drivers or devices on the market today that need access to
this extended config space?


"need"? Not AFAIK. Not yet, anyway.

Most PCI-Ex devices I've seen are designed such that they work under OS's and drivers that do not support the extended configuration area.
