So you'd like to see the changes in this patch spread out across more
appropriate files?  pci_mmcfg_for_each_region() moving off into
arch/x86/pci/mmconfig-shared.c, for example.

I'm not sure how to make that pretty in apei_resources_request()
where essentially we need to add an extra scan for some arch
specific addresses to ignore from the list of addresses.
