I have tested this patch set on qemu and I see mixed mode kernel not booting.
My test setup is:
Running qemu-system-x86_64 with 32 bit OVMF and x86_64 kernel built with Mixed mode enabled.
I am using elilinux as bootloader.

Upon further investigation, I found that the issue isn't related to this patch set.
It's introduced with commit 2e6eb40ca5eb ("Fix incorrect invocation of PciIO->Attributes")
Reverting the change does help in booting mixed mode kernel.

Regards,
Sai
