According to Petr Vandrovec:

 ... "What is important (and checked) is address of MMCONFIG reported by MCFG
 table...  Unfortunately code does not bother with printing that address :-(

 "Another problem is that code has hardcoded that MMCONFIG area is 256MB large.
 Unfortunately for the code PCI specification allows any power of two between 2MB
 and 256MB if vendor knows that such amount of busses (from 2 to 128) will be
 sufficient for system.  With notebook it is quite possible that not full 8 bits
 are implemented for MMCONFIG bus number."

So here is a patch.  Unfortunately my system still fails the test because
it doesn't reserve any part of the MMCONFIG area, but this may fix others.

Booted on x86_64, only compiled on i386.  x86_64 still remaps the max area
(256MB) even though only 2MB is checked... but 2.6.16 had no check at all
so it is still better.

PCI: reduce size of x86 MMCONFIG reserved area check

1.  Print the address of the MMCONFIG area when the test for that area
    being reserved fails.

2.  Only check if the first 2MB is reserved, as that is the minimum.
