I don't have a strong opinion here, though I'm leaning toward it's OK as is.

If I'm reading Linux drivers/xen/pci.c correctly, my understanding is that dom0
will only invoke PHYSDEVOP_pci_mmcfg_reserved once per mmcfg segment, so in
practice it's unlikely to spam. In other words, I think it's OK as is.

Agreed. The current patch is prerequisite for this work. Hm, perhaps we could
create a gitlab ticket for it?
