I have no idea...  Here is a Mac mini which just booted 2.6.26 x86-64:

ACPI: bus type pci registered
PCI: MCFG configuration 0: base e0000000 segment 0 buses 0 - 255
PCI: MCFG area at e0000000 reserved in E820
PCI: Using MMCONFIG at e0000000 - efffffff
PCI: Using configuration type 1 for base access
ACPI: EC: EC description table is found, configuring boot EC
ACPI: BIOS _OSI(Linux) query ignored via DMI
ACPI: Interpreter enabled
ACPI: (supports S0 S3 S4 S5)
ACPI: Using IOAPIC for interrupt routing
ACPI: EC: GPE = 0x17, I/O: command/status = 0x66, data = 0x62
ACPI: EC: driver started in poll mode
ACPI: PCI Root Bridge [PCI0] (0000:00)
pci 0000:00:1f.0: quirk: region 0400-047f claimed by ICH6 ACPI/GPIO/TCO
pci 0000:00:1f.0: quirk: region 0500-053f claimed by ICH6 GPIO
PCI: Transparent bridge - 0000:00:1e.0
ACPI: PCI Interrupt Routing Table [\_SB_.PCI0._PRT]
[...]

There is a CONFIG_PCI_MMCONFIG=y in its .config, FWIW.  I too have rEFIt
installed on this mini.  dmidecode says it is a Macmini1,1.
