My preference is Ivan's patch using Loic's proposal. My patch would have tested MMCONFIG before using it, but it didn't fix the problem where the decode of large displacement devices can overlap the MMCONFIG region. Ivan's patch fixes that, and the problem of Northbridges that don't respond to MMCONFIG and as a bonus cleans out some code rendered unnecessary by his patch. Linus is confident that conf1 is not going away for at least the next five years.
