What is the purpose of this?  It seems that you are marking regions
that we call MMCONFIG on x86, or ECAM-type regions in the language of
the PCIe spec.  I see that you set it in several places, but I don't
see anything that ever looks for it.  Do you have plans to use it in
the future?  If it really does correspond to MMCONFIG/ECAM, we should
handle those regions consistently across all architectures.
