Do you want to revert follow commit?

BTW, edac never work on nehalem-ex and westmere-ex.

    x86/PCI: derive pcibios_last_bus from ACPI MCFG

    On various newer Intel systems the PCI bus(ses) the non-core devices
    live on aren't getting announced by ACPI except through the bus range
    covered by mmconfig. At least the i7core-edac driver depends on these
    devices getting detected.

    Mauro, could you check whether with this change the Xeon 55xx hack in
    that driver can go away altogether, and with it the bogus exporting of
    pcibios_scan_specific_bus()?
