The problem can also be caused by buggy BIOS's that don't report
proper values for mmconfig space. There is some code in mmconfig.c that
tries to handle that. It might not handle what ever your system is reporting.
Andi Kleen seems to be the last person involved and might be able to help.
It would be useful to add some printk's to mmconfig to dump out the table
after it discovers the table.
