Right, my next version already has alternative to DMI match handler, so 
there will be two ways to match:
1. DMI, like in this patch set
2. int (*match)(struct pci_mcfg_fixup *) where you can read CPUID, and 
whatever is necessary.

Then we can identify them using <domain:bus>. I was wondering to pass 
acpi device handler to match handler for the case where we need e.g. 
extra properties from related DSDT device descriptor. Does it make sense 
to you?
