fd3a8cff4d ("x86/pci: Treat EfiMemoryMappedIO as reservation of ECAM
space") added the concept of using the EFI memory map to help decide
whether ECAM space mentioned in the MCFG table is valid.
Unfortunately it described that EfiMemoryMappedIO space as "reserved", but
it is actually not *reserved* by the EFI memory map. EfiMemoryMappedIO
only means the firmware requested that the OS map this space for use by
firmware runtime services.
Change the dmesg logging to describe it as simply "EfiMemoryMappedIO", not
as "reserved as EfiMemoryMappedIO". A previous commit actually *does*
reserve the space if ACPI PNP0C01/02 devices haven't done so:
- PCI: ECAM at [mem 0xe0000000-0xefffffff] reserved as EfiMemoryMappedIO
+ PCI: ECAM at [mem 0xe0000000-0xefffffff] is EfiMemoryMappedIO; assuming valid
PCI: ECAM [mem 0xe0000000-0xefffffff] reserved to work around lack of ACPI motherboard _CRS

============
There are several guides for kernel developers and users. These guides can
be rendered in a number of formats, like HTML and PDF. Please read
Documentation/admin-guide/README.rst first.
In order to build the documentation, use ``make htmldocs`` or
``make pdfdocs``. The formatted documentation can also be read online at:
https://www.kernel.org/doc/html/latest/
There are various text files in the Documentation/ subdirectory,
several of them using the Restructured Text markup notation.
Please read the Documentation/process/changes.rst file, as it contains the
requirements for building and running the kernel, and information about
the problems which may result by upgrading your kernel.
