I inherited a kernel config used here from a previous custom,
V1000-based solution. Most likely originally
it came from the x86_64_defconfig. Maybe MMCONFIG wasn't enabled by
default at that time.
We never had problems with this because our BIOS keeps the IO ECS
enabled (that's against the spec recommendation).
The kernel default for PCI_MMCONFIG is 'y' now, so it's unlikely that
people will run into this issue unless
they explicitly disable it.
