After digging the log messages, I found the early probing logic is needed for two cases: 1) CONFIG_PCI_BIOS and CONFIG_PCI_DIRECT are disabled or not supported by the platform, and MMCONF is the only method to access configuration space. So need to support MMCONF as early as possible because ACPI initialization may need to access PCI configuration space. 2) ACPI is disabled by "acpi=off" boot option or due to errors when initializing the ACPI subsystem, so pci_mmcfg_late_init() won't be called.

I haven't tried to chase this down. __pci_mmcfg_init() will be called by pci_mmcfg_early_init() and pci_mmcfg_late_init(). When it's called by pci_mmcfg_early_init(), the ACPI subsystem hasn't been initialized yet, so pci_mmcfg_reject_broken() doesn't check whether the resource is reserved by ACPI motherboard devices. If we pass "pci=noearly" option to the kernel to disable early probe, it will generate the warning message on the same platform. According to commit 7752d5cfe3d11ca0bb9c673ec38bd78ba6578f8e log message, "The PCI Express firmware spec apparently tells BIOS developers that reservation in ACPI is required and E820 reservation is optional", it would be better for us to emit this warning message. Any suggestions here?
