Historically, the workaround for that has been to switch the PCI/ACPI
libraries in Windows to the generic ones (and away from the chip-set
specific ones). Then you (re)activate that configuration and if few
enough "things" (pieces of HW) are changed the activation process should
not get (re)triggered. 

IIRC, there used to be a "no more than two changes between boots or the
activation needs to be redone" rule, but that could have changed.
Keeping in mind that a memory size change beyond a certain percentage
would count as a "thing changed", as does a new graphics adapter, etc,
etc.
