2.6.26-rc9-git9 doesn't boot on Macintel

Is anyone able to boot the 2.6.26rc9git9 or 2.6.26rc9git12
kernels on a Macintel machine? On my MacBook Pro (second gen with
rEFIt installed for dual booting), I find that MMCONFIG doesn't
seem to be in use under the 2.6.26 kernels. I get the following
hang when booting rc9git9 or rc9git12...

ACPI: bus type pci registered
PCI: MCFG configuration 0: base f0000000 segment 0 buses 0 - 255
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG
PCI: Using configuration type 1 for base access
ACPI: EC: EC description table is found, configuring boot EC
ACPI: EC: non-query interrupt received switching to interrupt mode
ACPI: BIOS_OSI (Linux) query ignored via DMI
ACPI: Interpreter enabled
ACPI: (supports S0 S3 S4 S5)
ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
PCI: MCFG configuration 0: base f0000000 segment 0 buses 0 - 255
PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area at f0000000 is not reserved in ACPI motherboard resources
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG
ACPI: EC:GPE=0x17, I/O: command/status=0x66, data=0x62
ACPI: EC: driver started in interrupt mode
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)
pci 0000:00:1f.0: quirk: region 0400-047f claimed by ICH6 ACPI/GPIO/TCO
pci 0000:00:1f.0: quirk: region 0500-053f claimed by ICH6 GPIO

This compares to the same section in a normal boot of 2.6.25.10...

..etc. My understanding is that the EFI in use on Macintel requires the
use of MMCONFIG so the boot failure isn't surprising but the absence of
MMCONFIG is.
