Here is my take (and Ajay knows probably more than me):

Looking briefly on MCFG, I do not see a clean way of using the ACPI table.
The two options are either to use a reserved field (which who knows, might
be used one day) or some OEM ID. I am also not familiar with
PCI_COMMAND.MEMORY=0, so Ajay can hopefully give some answer about that.

Anyhow, I understand (although not relate) to the objection for a new global
variable. How about explicitly calling this hardware bug a “bug” and using
the proper infrastructure? Calling it explicitly a bug may even push whoever
can to resolve it.

IOW, how about doing something along the lines of (not tested):
