True. Mine also has:
_CRS in DSDT:

                DWordMemory (ResourceProducer, PosDecode, MinFixed, MaxFixed, Cacheable, ReadWrite,
                    0x00000000,         // Granularity
                    0x00100000,         // Range Minimum
                    0xFEBFFFFF,         // Range Maximum
                    0x00000000,         // Translation Offset
                    0xFEB00000,         // Length
                    ,, _Y23, AddressRangeMemory, TypeStatic)

MCFG
[02Ch 0044  8]                 Base Address : 00000000F8000000
[034h 0052  2]         Segment Group Number : 0000
[036h 0054  1]             Start Bus Number : 00
[037h 0055  1]               End Bus Number : 3F
[038h 0056  4]                     Reserved : 00000000

so they do overlap apparently without issues.

Well, this definitely simplifies things: this probably means we can just
do the same thing for piix and q35.
