You mentioned two messages. Here's the first:
PCI: BIOS Bug: MCFG area at e0000000 is not reserved in ACPI motherboard resources
PCI: Not using MMCONFIG.

and the second:
PCI: Cannot allocate resource region 0 of device 0000:01:04.0
PCI: Error while updating region 0000:01:04.0/0 (feb00002 != 00000000)

The "Error while updating region" message is because we wrote something
to a BAR, read it back, and they didn't match. I suppose this could be
some kind of config space problem related to the fact that we're not
using MMCONFIG.

Can you try removing the MCFG reservation check, so we do try to use
MMCONFIG? If you do this on a current kernel, we'll also get a little
more debug output about the subsequent resource allocation failure.
