I believe that such a change is in Greg KH's tree. So -mm (with both trees) would probably work.

Yes 2.6.24-rc6-mm1 works, but plain git-x86 does not:

PCI: MCFG configuration 0: base 4026531840 segment 0 buses 0 - 127
PCI: MCFG area at f0000000 reserved in ACPI motherboard resources
PCI: Using MMCONFIG at f0000000 - f7ffffff

At least, I thought it was in Greg's tree, not sure now.. This is the patch in -mm:

http://www.kernel.org/pub/linux/kernel/people/akpm/patches/2.6/2.6.24-rc6/2.6.24-rc6-mm1/broken-out/pci-disable-decoding-during-sizing-of-bars.patch

Without this change a bunch of machines fail to boot even without the MCFG change (since their MCFG was E820 reserved and so the old validation check passed).
