The most interesting fact there is that windows *does not* clear

Windows 98 doesn't, it says. That doesn't say anything about what newer
versions of Windows are doing (like Vista, which is the first to
actually use MMCONFIG).

But we're not going to drop support for hardware "designed for Windows 98",
aren't we?

Check the code. We have a quirk to handle this, in
drivers/usb/host/pci-quirks.c

It doesn't help. It's a "final" fixup, so it runs much later than BAR sizing.
