... so you opt to create the big mess in the kernel. Great.
And it does not even fixes a real problem, but getting mmconfig or the numa bus discovery to work is not really a too serious issue anyways. At best it is the icing on the cake to enable some relatively obscure functionality and be a little more efficient, but nothing really fundamental.
But for those things just expecting a working modern BIOS is quite reasonable.
