This turned out not to be an actual regression.  According to Bjorn,
"it was arguably a bug that it *did* work before", see:

https://lore.kernel.org/linux-pci/20220202164308.GA17822@bhelgaas/

Also, the culprit was not pciehp, but rather a change to _OSC handling
for VMD devices in commit 04b12ef163d1.

Thus, please consider re-adding these upstream commits to the stable queues:

  085a9f43433f30cbe8a1ade62d9d7827c3217f4d  (5.16, 5.15, 5.10)
  23584c1ed3e15a6f4bfab8dc5a88d94ab929ee12  (5.16, 5.15, 5.10, 5.4)

The release numbers in parentheses are the ones you originally queued the
commits up for.

Thanks!
