Your patch looks good to me.

I have some comments.

Do you have the patch that can be applied to Bjorn's pci tree?

Just for confirmation.
>From my interpretation of PCI firmware spec, MCFG doesn't have any entry
for hot-pluggable hostbridge. So I assume this is for the machine that
is not compliant to the spec. Is my understanding same as yours?

Desn't this break the system that doesn't support MMCONFIG?

In my understanding, arch_acpi_pci_root_add() returns -ENODEV if
mmconfig information is found neither in MCFG table nor _CBA. And
pci root bridge initialization seems to fail arch_acpi_pci_root_add()
returns non-zero value.
