This feature allows MMCONFIG to be used even to access the base PCI
config space [1]. This means increased performance: one access to
MMCONFIG instead of two conventional accesses to I/O ports.

Q35 makes no distinction in base or extended PCI config access to
MMCONFIG, MMCONFIG is always on, and in case it is is not initialized,
probing of PCI devices will fall back to normal process and use type1
access.

Enable the feature unconditionally.

You'll need a TYPE_X86_CPU.kvm-pci-go-mmconfig=off entry in
pc_compat_5_1 to keep guest ABI compatibility on older machine
types.

pc_compat_5_1 is introduced by
https://lore.kernel.org/qemu-devel/20200728094645.272149-1-cohuck@redhat.com/
("hw: add compat machines for 5.2").

On most cases, enabling a feature unconditionally on
kvm_arch_get_supported_cpuid() would be a mistake, but this flag
seems to be an exception to the rule.

A comment here explaining why it is really safe to enable it
unconditionally would be welcome.
