it seems some intel system with old bios need

PATCH: Fix boot-time hang on G31/G33 PC

but greg decided not to use it, and user need to update BIOS or use pci=nommconf

but this one
x86: validate against acpi motherboard resources

Can you remove the line regarding Andi, and put them into x86 mm?

Andi could use pci=nommconf with that system with buggy BIOS or update the BIOS
