Please also update the 64-bit side (there's no reason to do this on 
32-bit only - even though your sample hw is probably 32-bit only) - 
and while at it, also unify the currently separate 32-bit and 64-bit 
PCI_MMCONFIG definitions.

Please introduce one common/generic helper:

		x86_table_parse(ACPI_SIG_MCFG, pci_parse_mcfg);

and do the fallback in that helper. We generally want to try ACPI 
first, SFI second. That helper makes it easier to add such fallback 
in other places as well, and will de-uglify the above code as well.
