I don't know whether it's *common* to have multiple domains on x86,
but they're definitely used on large systems.  This includes some
lspci info from an HPE Superdome Flex system:
https://lore.kernel.org/lkml/5350E02A-6457-41A8-8F33-AF67BFDAEE3E@xxxxxx/

The early quirks in arch/x86/kernel/early-quirks.c (not the
DECLARE_PCI_FIXUP_EARLY quirks in drivers/pci/quirks.c) are restricted
to segment 0, no matter how many host bridges there are.  This is
because they use read_pci_config_16(), which uses a config access
mechanism that has no provision for a segment number.
