I'd rather the memmap= option works on all platforms.  Unless we're going to get rid of it entirely and exclusively use ACPI tables, I see no good reason to leave this landmine lying around for someone else to blow their own leg off.

The Hyper-V ACPI tables are growing NFIT support, or I believe that work is already underway.  I'd rather not touch the Linux PCI core to cover for the fact that Hyper-V disables one of the kernel's debug command line options when there's a platform standard way to communicate these resources.
