Argh. However I still do not think it is an acceptable reason for breaking
all userspace access to the extended config space.

At the very least, there should be a sysfs toggle to enable MMCONFIG if
root really wishes that (maybe for a particular device, as the drivers
would do).

Have a nice fortnight
