That's a good point ...

We could do something like:

	if (boot_cpu_data.x86_vendor == X86_VENDOR_AMD &&
		boot_cpu_data.x86 >= 0x10) {
		u64 mmconf_val;

		rdmsrl(MSR_FAM10H_MMIO_CONF_BASE, mmconf_val);
		if (mmconf_val & FAM10H_MMIO_CONF_ENABLE)
			return;
	}

To detect enabled on-CPU mmconf support. We could even put this into a 
helper function as other places might want to use it too.
