Yes, but later (once dom0 starts) it switched back to mmcfg. Now I see
this:
(XEN) PCI: MCFG configuration 0: base e0000000 segment 0000 buses 00 - ff
(XEN) PCI: Using MCFG for segment 0000 bus 00-ff

Another thing I noticed in the bug report - the reporter says warm
reboot from 6.11 (where it works) to 6.12 avoids the issue (not sure
about further reboots). Cold boot directly to 6.12 results in this buggy
behavior.
