after doing a bit more research: I was wrong about this. What I
remembered was not the current state. Edk2 does seem to support multiple
domains, with different segment numbers, ECAM base addresses, and bus
number ranges. If we figure out a placement strategy or an easy to
consume representation of these data for the firmware, it might be
possible for OVMF to hook them into the edk2 core (although not in the
earliest firmware phases, such as SEC and PEI).

In retrospect, I'm honestly surprised that so much multi-segment support
has been upstreamed to the edk2 core. Sorry about the FUD. (My general
points remain valid, for the record... But perhaps they no longer matter
for this discussion.)
