xen/pci: reserve MCFG areas earlier
If MCFG area is not reserved in E820, Xen by default will defer its usage until Dom0 registers it explicitly after ACPI parser recognizes it as a reserved resource in DSDT. Having it reserved in E820 is not mandatory according to "PCI Firmware Specification, rev 3.2" (par. 4.1.2) and firmware is free to keep a hole in E820 in that place. Xen doesn't know what exactly is inside this hole since it lacks full ACPI view of the platform therefore it's potentially harmful to access MCFG region without additional checks as some machines are known to provide inconsistent information on the size of the region. Now xen_mcfg_late() runs after acpi_init() which is too late as some basic PCI enumeration starts exactly there as well. Trying to register a device prior to MCFG reservation causes multiple problems with PCIe extended capability initializations in Xen (e.g. SR-IOV VF BAR sizing). There are no convenient hooks for us to subscribe to so register MCFG areas earlier upon the first invocation of xen_add_device(). It should be safe to do once since all the boot time buses must have their MCFG areas in MCFG table already and we don't support PCI bus hot-plug.
