Yes it is doable, I implemented it in the same way in one of my initial
patch series, about year ago. I'm questioning raw accessors presence on
per-arch basis. If it is really needed for all archs, then we definitely
should implement it. If ARM64 does not care for it, there is no point to
complicate it. Especially, I mean all kind of PCI config space quirk we
will need to handle right after this patch got merged, see:
[PATCH V5 13/15] pci, acpi: Match PCI config space accessors against
platfrom specific quirks.
and
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/9/627
https://lkml.org/lkml/2016/2/8/967
Giving these quirks, raw accessors are not so easy.

Yes, I want to post next version and keep this patch set together, if
you and Bjorn are okay. I am feeling that my previous patch set is close
to what Bjorn suggested, modulo the way we keep MCFG regions. Lets
discuss it here, then I will post it as next version. I am looking
forward to hear Bjorn's comment on my previous patch set.
