Thanks for checking this out. I'm going to going to drop the IO
ECS-related patch for now, and merge the others for v3.16 (the branch
is here: http://git.kernel.org/cgit/linux/kernel/git/helgaas/pci.git/log/?h=pci/amd-numa).

I don't understand why MCFG init is split into two phases, and I don't
have time to sort all that out before v3.16.
