the "depends on device" is even true for Linux today. For us today, MMCONFIG 
isn't always used, it's used on a per device basis already; except that the 
per-device is both defined by the bios and our quirks....
(the mmconfig code already falls back to conf1 cycles in various cases)

So I'm not entirely buying your argument. IN fact I'm not buying your "mixed is 
not tested at all" argument; while the statement may be true, it's not 
different than it is from Linux today... which is mixed. Just differently mixed 
I suppose.
