it seems some intel system with old bios need

PATCH: Fix boot-time hang on G31/G33 PC

but greg decided not to use it, and user need to update BIOS or use pci=nommconf

but this one
x86: validate against acpi motherboard resources

should be different. it just reveres the BIOS bug.

Can you remove the line regarding Andi, and put them into x86 mm?

Andi could use pci=nommconf with that system with buggy BIOS or update the BIOS
