IORT spec says

"
If reserved memory regions are present, the OS must preserve PCIe
configuration performed by the boot
firmware. This preservation is required to ensure functional continuity
of the endpoints that are using the reserved
memory regions. Therefore, RMR nodes must be supported by the inclusion
of the PCI Firmware defined _DSM
for ignoring PCI boot configuration, Function 5, in the ACPI device
object of the PCIe host bridge in ACPI
namespace. The _DSM method should return a value of 0 to indicate that
the OS must honour the PCI
configuration that the firmware has done at boot time. See [PCIFW] for
more details on this _DSM method.
"

Enforcing preservation was attempted in the past in QEMU and then
reverted due to the aforemented bug.

qemu commit: 40c3472a29  Revert "acpi/gpex: Inform os to keep firmware
resource map"

So if we want to rely on RMRs and re-introduce that change I don't see
how we can avoid fixing the kernel issue.

I don't understand how this changes the above picture?
