Yeah, concept seems fine, and the cleanups you suggested sound good (splitting
the files would make things clearer, and some of that stuff probably belongs
in the ACPI or PNP core anyway).

My only concern is that enabling mmconfig w/o a reservation (as might happen
if ACPI was disabled) may cause problems since it could overlap with other
space. That was one of the issues we ran into when enabling it in the first
place... But we've worked around it so far so I'm happy to give it a spin
for the next cycle.

Thanks,
