Hmm, so an idea I had just now.. can you grab a dump of the PCI config space 
for the disk controller in the MCFG vs non-MCFG cases?  That is, find the 
device's address using pciconf -lv (e.g. pci0:0:30:0 or some such) and then 
run this command under both configurations and save the output:

pciconf -r pci0:0:30:0 0:0xfc
