This does not affect every configuration.  It is indeed the same ask as
in https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1934620--I was
not aware that this had been requested in the past, and given that we
are still seeing issues with this, I thought it was worth asking.

I don't know of any cases in which it is desirable to have PCI realloc
enabled, at least on Dell systems.  I presume that is helpful on some
systems where BIOS doesn't allocate address space to PCI devices, but
there is enough unused address space available to the PCI busses that it
reallocations succeed.  The kernel reallocation algorithm doesn't appear
to be very robust in that it will assign space that isn't needed on some
devices, then fail to have enough remaining for others--but when this
happens, it doesn't revert to the original allocations; rather, some
devices just fail.
